I count several of them among my best reading experiences.īut the past is, as L.P Hartley reminds us, a foreign country - they do things differently there. I went on to read a whole bunch of his books and hugely enjoyed them. My copy is from 1987, so it's actually 36 years since I first and last read it. Legend, David Gemmel's debut novel, was published in 1984. I've broken these things up into sections as it turns out that I went on at length! I am, however, going to talk about reading it twice with ~40 years between the reads, leading into the whole business of seeing things with new (or older) eyes, and wandering into the territory of tribalism, identity, and the emotional bonds we form with books. Relax, I am not going to attack this novel! The 5* from my original review can stand. For me it's a big milestone along my fantasy journey!īelow is my rewritten review - the original one was from memory of reading it back in the 80's. Astonishingly this is the 22nd hit when you type "Legend" into the search engine.
