Books I've Been Reading

Sworn In Steel in the sequel to Among Thieves and again tells the tale of Drothe, now a crime lord known as the grey prince. And, as with the first one, I struggled to get into it, almost to the point where I nearly gave up on it. I'm glad I didn't though as, in the end, it was a fun romp. I don't think a new Hulick will ever jump straight to no 1 on my To Be Read pile like a Brett or Abercrombie, but I'll keep buying them.

I've also just reread David Gemmell's White Wolf. Rereading a book is a real indulgence when you have as many new books as I have waiting to be read for the first time but you can never go wrong with a Gemmell. White Wolf isn't one of the classics but it's always good fun and, in a world of GrimDark smothering everything with its shades of grey, its straightforward portrayal of good vs evil is very refreshing.
