It was a bit easier for me to read this book than it was with the previous book in the series. This is probably because of the initial disappointment of The Eternal Emperor going bananas and the empire going down the drain had already sunk in with the last book and I was more prepared for that th...
This is the sequel to the 1994 book, The Far Kingdoms, which I have not read. I didn't even realize that there was a prequel until I started to put this review together, so it stands alone well.The Warrior's Tale is set in a world similar to Classical Greece crossed with standard fantasy themes. ...

It took me a while but I finally went back to continue the Sten series. This book, of course, continues where the last one left off which means Sten is stuck in a POW labor camp. Now, I do not like prison settings so it’s maybe not so surprising that I didn’t like this book as much as the previou...
