Very Good

I thought this was one of the best books out of the 5 I've read so far. I really liked the beginning; how it had him in Cimmeria. I also enjoyed how Cimmerian beliefs and customs were explained throughout the story as well. Taharka and company weren't bad villains, and the whole thing with the priests was pretty cool. One of my favorite sections of the book would have to be all of the action at Croton. I thought the part with the circus caravan was dumb, but it did serve its purpose, and it was hard imagining the bandits setting up a cave base like they did. Overall, I thought it was really good, but I gave it a 4 because of minor things that I thought were stupid and the end seemed rushed and kind of weak. However, I would recommend it.
