Relation Concering Books Stormrider (The Rigante #4)
One glorious spark, one moment of Rigante rebellion has ignited a revolution and forged a legend. In the mountains of the north, the outlaw leader known as Ravenheart waits, knowing the forces of the blackhearted Moidart will come, led by the brutal ruler’s only son, Stormrider. Unaware that the fate of the world lies in their hands, sworn enemies Ravenheart and Stormrider will be forced to unite—and face the vengeance of an ancient evil.For immense armies of darkness are advancing on the highlanders, and it seems as if nothing will stop them. They crush their victims with ease, until only a few thousand men stand before them, with no help in sight. But these are not ordinary men they face. They are clansmen, and more than that, they are Rigante. . . .

Sometimes like now I wonder if reading Gemmell is an extreme masochistic act. Finishing this I feel a great deal of despair and pain and only a little joy. So really read it, it's great.PS. Never thought I'd say this but the Moidart may be one of the best characters ever created.I finished this book (for about the seventh time) about a week ago, but this is the first chance I've had time to write a review. Although, not Gemmell's best work (Sword In The Storm, Midnight Falcon, Legend, Winter Warriors, Waylander II & III, Dark Moon), it is up there with them. As I've already said, I've read this book (and many others) several times over the years, and there are only so many books that are gripping enough to do that with. Gemmell was always the master at character
The BEST ending to any Gemmell book I have read to date! And I have read many. Almost made me cry. Almost...*puffs out chest*
4 Stars. This is a 4 book series that really would have worked better as 2 books. Books 1 & 2 could have been the first book and Books 3 & 4 could have been the second book. That being said. I really enjoyed the characters in this book and the overall story. I'm glad I read it and will read some more of David Gemmell's novels.
As always brilliantThere will never be enough words to try and explain the depth and meaning these amazing books. They are telling us so many stories but also lessons on humanity. Mr and Mrs Gemmell had there eyes open for a very long time. Such a shame Mr Gemmell is no longer with us.
Just finished the last book in the Rigante series. And yet again I love another of David Gemmells books. Stormrider takes place a few years after the ending of Ravenheart, and shares many of the same characters, but also has some new major additions. One being the main antagonist, Winter Kay.Civil war has occurred with the Varlish and many people from Ravenheart such as Gaise Macon have been drawn into the turmoil. The war seems to be coming to a close, but no one knows what will happen next.
I enjoyed this book quite a bit, although this 4th and last book in Gemmell's "Rigante" series was probably the weakest of the four. Certain changes in character in the book, particularly for Gaise Macon and the Moidart, seemed a little forced, and perhaps made more for plot convenience than for consistency in the story. This is still a rather minor complaint given that I really liked the story overall and was certainly caught up in it while reading it.
