Epic fantasy is one of my favorite genres, and I saw the Shield of Skool by Gordon Brewer and liked the way it sounded Read on for my review Synopsis from the author In this epic fantasy, a modest mission from his overlord turns into a perilous trek and personal quest for Urith, known as the Clovel Destroyer Leading his nephew Oslaf across enemy lands, the warriors find allies in the demigod Mivraa and a beautiful young prophetess named Fedelm As told by mystic visions, one of the group is desti [...]

I won this on good reads.The epic adventure of Urith, a great warrior, caught in a power struggle between gods, demi gods, and overlords Well formed characters and society creation Slow to start, but interesting twists and turns.

A truly epic story or start to the series similar to the old Conan or John Carter stories with a new world of lands and characters I like that the women were strong, devious, and loyal as the males Wish it was longer so have to wait for new book.

Pretty good book Not strictly fantasy genre as it has a flavor of adventure swashbuckling overlaying it The adventure unfolds as the main character and those traveling with him make their way through the challenges laid before them.
