Possibly the best and finest example of Heroic Fantasy. I loved every second of it!

I really enjoyed this. The characters of Druss, Rek, and Virae were quite likeable. The villain, Ulric, was really compelling. I didn’t care too much for the secondary world setting. It was quite vague. From my perspective there were only three cultures: the Nadir, the Drenai, and the Ventrians. The Ventrians aren’t really explored. That culture is a subtext. The Nadir are generix barbarians. And the Drenai are pretty much the Romans. The ending was quite compelling.
