Commentary In Pursuance Of Books Midnight Falcon (The Rigante #2)
Bane the Bastard is the illegitimate son of the Rigante king who men called Demonblade. Born of treachery, Bane grew up an outcast in his own land, feared by his fellow highlanders, and denied by the father whose unmistakable mark he bore–the eyes of Connavar, one tawny brown, the other emerald green. Hounded from the country of his birth, Bane found acceptance across the seas–only to have it stripped away in an instant by a cruel and deadly swordsman. Now fighting as a gladiator in the blood-soaked arenas of the Empire, Bane lives for one thing: revenge. And he pursues his goal with the same single-minded determination that won his father a crown. But more is at stake than a young warrior’s quest for vengeance. The armies of the Stone are preparing to march on the lands of the Rigante. The fate of human and Seidh alike will be decided by the clash of swords–and by the bonds of twisted love and bitterness between a father and a son . . .

I liked it, but the ending made me sad, also I was a little upset when I realized the next books take place so much later :(. still an awesome book though.This was a little better than the first one, if that could be possible, having in mind that the story here starts some 20 years from where it has been left in the previous volume.With strong characters, a lot of drama, killings, adventures and surprises, a small amount of magic and gladiators fights, also let`s not forget the big scale battles, in short, with a lot of things going on in here, this was a delight to read!Five stars without a doubt!
Wow, what an ending. I am overflowing with emotions. The ending of Midnight Falcon took us right back to where the first book - Sword in the Storm began. In the beginning there was a boy in the forest who climbed a tree to get away from wolves who witnessed a great man enter a circle of stone alone, to face his enemies. As the book goes on you learn about the life of Connovar and come to love his giant heart and his brutal fighting prowess. You love how he carries his paralyzed friend to the
im enjoying the second book of the rigante more than the legend series. Looking forward to the third book.
After finishing Sword in the Storm I rushed out to get this second book in the series. It has a totally different feel to the previous one, but wasn't less enjoyable. I liked the story, but as with all tales that span a generation or two, the cycle of time does bring with it heartache and sorrow and I felt it while reading the story of Bane. A big chunk of that emotion came from being reunited with familiar characters from the previous book and to see how time has carved its progress in their

They valued his skills in war, but they feared the violence in his heart.Seventeen years after his birth, self-exile takes Bane to a rats' nest- the Great City of Stone. Here, where gladiators kill for a living,
This author is amazing. I was told to read this series by Orson Scott Card at a seminar of his. He said to read it if you want to understand strength of character. He's right. The characters in these books are faced with such heart wrenching decisions it makes you want to cry. David Gemmell writes his characters with such power. As young Bane tries to make something of his life, he must overcome not just physical obstacles, but ones of friendship and loyalty as well. The main part of the story
