Re: The Best and Worst Gemmell Character

Best character: Yu Yu Liang, definatly one of the funniest ones. I also liked the guy who was at Skeln with Druss, and also in the first Skillgannon book. Can't remember his name or be arsed to get up and go look The Riaz Nor were ace, as was Helikaon.

As for worst charcter, I don't really have one, but Jon Shannow is just a bible-bashing Waylander with guns so therefore not as cool. Also I never got the whole Skillgannon thing, just seemed to me to be a cross between a few of DG's other character's. That still made it very readable and I really liked the books but I would not put Skillgannon above the others.

Re: The Best and Worst Gemmell Character

The only characters I have read of DG's are...
Dace...I liked
Skillgannon...I liked
Druss...I liked
And I really did like Jaim...goes where angels fear to tread and doesnt question why just goes where he has to. A lot like Druss I guess.

Re: The Best and Worst Gemmell Character

hi, i'm new to the forum.

i think my favorite character has to be bison from winter warriors. he is a gruff, likeable character who has the best death scene in any book that i have read.

'did you know,' he told them, 'that i have wings? big white wings? i fly ... over ... mountains.'

genius.

Re: The Best and Worst Gemmell Character

The best would have to be Skilgannon th Damned ,i picked him because it was white wolf that got me into reading Gemmell's books but Con and Bane come close seconds

Re: The Best and Worst Gemmell Character

before i begin - forgive me my spelling!

I liked Druss, of course....
And Waylander...
and Skila..... i dont think i'll attempt to spell that....

Someone remind me - who is Dace - what book?
i like Caswollan - from the Hawk Eternal, and i didnt mind the Battle Queen either...

worst character??? the leader of the Aienir race. He was mean. and Amiziga from the Bloodstone books....

Re: The Best and Worst Gemmell Character

Druss has by far been the best to me. He's the character I get most excited about reading. So kickass, yet so lovable... like a huge slashy teddybear. <3 Um.. and I liked Skilgannon - his battle style was my favourite especially.

Worst? I think.. maybe Kiall, because to me his character just wasn't very strong.. atleast, not very memorable in my opinion.
