Lord of the Isles Reviews

3.0
“Lord of the Isles starts off well enough. The first 50% or so is quite good, but then it gets VERY slow and repetitive. It’s also something of a problem when a couple of the side characters are WAY more interesting than the main characters; Tenoctris and Nonnus most notably. Those main characters don’t really grow or change much given the length of the book. The chapters are short, which is fine I suppose, but quite a few of them are pretty pointless. Just when they start to get interesting, the chapter ends, and the POV shifts. It’s annoying. All that said, the overall story is pretty good, and i like the magic system, vague tho it is.”

About David Drake

The delay was caused by his being drafted into the US Army. He served in 1970 as an enlisted interrogator with the 11th Armored Cavalry Regiment, the Blackhorse, in Viet Nam and Cambodia. He has used his legal and particularly his military experiences extensively in his fiction also. He practiced law for eight years; drove a city bus for one year; and has been a full-time freelance writer since 1981, writing such novels as and . He reads and travels extensively.
