I received this book in e-book format as an earlier reviewer. This is the second book in the series and I did not read the first one, which I think would have been helpful for this book. The story is passable but I found the over-the-top male barbarian style not to my taste. The characters spend a lot of time talking about who has the longest, how many women they have conquered, and how many people they have killed. At times there are attempts to make them seem sorry for what they do only to have them just keep doing it. A male testosterone ride unless it is parody, which I doubt. ( )Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. Throne of Bastards is the sequel to King of Bastards by Brian Keene. It is sword and sorcery, written in the terse style of R.E. Howard, Lin Carter etc. The ideas are a bit more modern but the style is definitely a throwback. I feel like one of those movie critics who pans an action movie because it has limited characterization, ignoring the fact that the audience wants action over intellectual plot. This is a good read if you like the genre but will disappoint if you are looking for epic fantasy. Diese Rezension wurde für LibraryThing Early Reviewers geschrieben. I normally like Keene's stuff. He has written two of my favorite novels, regardless of genre: Terminal and Ghoul. I'm basically giving this one a C, although that may be a little harsh because I typically don't get into sword and sorcery novels very much; not even Howard's stuff. If you're into the Conan stories, give this one a read. But I wouldn't recommend it if you're new to Brian's work, because he has much better stuff out thereJason Zeige 3 von 3 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Sword and sorcery collides with horror once again in this sequel to Brian Keene and Steven L. Shrewsbury's award-winning KING OF THE BASTARDS. Learning that his family is in danger, Rogan returns to his former kingdom, now under siege from foreign invaders and supernatural forces led by his bastard son. With time running out, the aging barbarian and his trusted companions, Javan and Akibeel, must forge an alliance of new friends and old foes, mustering an army to retake the kingdom. Surrounded by savages, soldiers, demons, and dark magic, it will take all of their cunning, skill, ruthlessness, and courage to survive the slaughter and determine once and for all who shall sit upon the THRONE OF THE BASTARDS.
