Fierce and proud, the Rigante dwell deep in the green mountain lands, worshiping the gods of air and water, and the spirits of the earth. Among them lives a warrior who bears the mark of fate. Born of the storm that slew his father, he is Connavar, and tales of his courage spread like wildfire.The Seidh--a magical race as old as time--take note of the young warrior and cast a malignant shadow across his life. For soon a merciless army will cross the water, destroying forever the timeless rhythms of life among the Rigante.
Swearing to protect his people, Connavar embarks on a quest that will take him into the heart of the enemy. Along the way, he receives a gift: a sword as powerful and deadly as the Seidh who forged it. Thus he receives a name that will strike fear into the hearts of friend and foe alike--a name proclaiming a glorious and bitter destiny . . .

2.5 StarsInteresting fantasy book, but I didn't love it. It may have been the depth of characters and not really liking or relating to any of them. I'm going to read the 2nd book, Midnight Falcon and I hope the story and characters improve significantly.9,5/10Sword in the Storm, the first book in the Rigante series, takes us to a magical, and wonderful heroic world with Gemmell to travels us through the adventures of young Conavar - a boy that wants to explore the world and, through his adventures, become the leader of his tribe.It is a really strong and, personally, one of my most favorite of Gemmell's as he takes us in a grand adventure, and with the protagonist growing up through love, sorrow and war. Definitely a very good beginning in the
Full review on BookNest!BookNestIt is said a man doesnt get old while his mother lives. I think its true. You are always a child in her eyes. It is irritating in the extreme. But you know, when they have gone, youd give the earth just to hear them treating you like a child once more.Sword in the Storm is undoubtedly my favourite book that I have read by the renowned David Gemmell. It surpasses even the joy of reading Legend, which is a book I would also recommend to everyone.It is obviously
Excellent
Gemmell's books are always hard to review, because it's hard to explain why they're great. This one in particular is tricky, looking back at the plot it seems like it should have been at least a bit boring yet it was captivating and utterly enjoyable. After some thought I believe there are two main reasons for that :First there is Gemmell's way of writing in a simple no-nonsense way which holds your attention completely. It actually reminds me of the writing of A Game Of Thrones. Second there is
This book of David Gemmell's is a slower read than his usual fairly action-packed books. I guess that's because it's part of a four book series and he's building the characters as they age.I enjoyed the story of Connaver, his strengths, his flaws. I like the mix of characters, the Rigante, the battles and ultimately Connaver himself. He's a bit of a sad story but ever learning and changing which I like. I'm looking forward to the next part of the tale.
I don't know how to begin this review as I was very disappointed. A man character should have a flaw or two to keep him interesting, but this one has way too many! A couple of times a passage of time took place and the reader was not informed then you have to work out how long during the conversations. All you know is a war is coming and only one person thinks to prepare. There was no real story to build up to and once the big war took place it was finished so quickly the reader barely noticed.
