I'm reading the Drenai books in published order. I've previously read Gemmel's Rigante books and while these are generally simpler, can feel the building sophistication in the writing.
I was very slow in working out that this is chronologically the earliest book so far - did wonder about the Drenoch pass that was mentioned and why the Nadir weren't using it in Druss the Legend instead of having to attack the fortress at Drenoch.
Also vaguely wondered why they weren't calling the bronze armour by Egel's name as they did in earlier (but chronologically later) books. ( )
