robynldouglas 's review for:

The Tower Lord by Anthony Ryan
4.0

A strong second book in the trilogy, one that improves on the first considerably and leaves you desperate for the finale.

Strongly reminded me of David Gemmel's Legend in places, with well-done battle scenes. Ryan had some great female characters in the first book, but that's a strength that he's taken to the max with the second. Villains and heroes, women make this story great. (As does Al Sorna, of course.)
