Narration Supposing Books Last Sword of Power (Stones of Power #2)
BLOOD KINGThe Goths followed a bloodthirsty new leader, one who sought to open the Gates of Hell: Wotan. His immortal power stemmed from human sacrifice and dark sorcery, and no sword could touch him. He rode the winds on a leather-winged steed, while his armies cut a deadly swath across the northern kingdoms. Even death's icy hand could not stop them.
Only Uther Pendragon could save Britannia. To do so he must wield his birthright--Cunobelin's blade, the legendary Sword of Power.
But Uther was chained in Hell, the sword lost in swirling Chaos. All hope lay with the warrior known as Revelation, with the magic of the Sipstrassi Stones, and with Anduine, a blind girl possessed of arcane powers. Only if these unlikely allies united could they hope to stop the invincible foe before the world plunged into darkness.

Uther in Hell19 February 2018 Well, it seems like I haven't read this one previously, even though a part of me thought that I did. I know that I have read a few of Gemmell's books, namely because one of my friends is a big fan, and I do remember reading the previous Arthurian one, but I suspect that by the time this one had come around I had basically moved on. However, since I had just finished rereading the first one I was somewhat keen on getting onto the sequel and in all honestly, I foundnot so much action like the first booka little bad in mixing gods and humans.but i think in next book the things get better.
I can't recall much about this book...Either I was distracted by another (more interesting) book, or the book was just not impressive enough.
Second in the series. Continues following Uther (Arthur) and his son Cormac, as well as the other characters from Book 1. This series is a strange amalgam of history and fantasy.
3 1/2. Still fun.
Thuro is the typical anti-hero, a mere boy who wants to be a scholar but has to become a warrior and a leader dealing with difficult decisions. He not only has to fight his fellow humans but also immortals, who more often play a cruel game than help the mortals with their Stones of Power, and savage magical creatures. These may not be Gemmell's best books, but enjoy them You may.
Though I love Gemmell's succinct prose, his gritty exposition and near complete lack of flowery language rarely inspires a strong emotional reaction from me. To me it is simply a different type of literature than say Tolkien. Yet this novel somehow got a real emotional reaction out of me at the end. I was really touched by the sorrow and regret of the characters as they looked back on the mistakes of the past and yearned to have chosen differently, wishing to remove the scars they had caused
