Waylander II: In the Realm of the Wolf

Drenai Series

By: David Gemmell

Narrated by: Sean Barrett

High in the wooded, peaked mountains of Skeln, the woodsman Dakeyras and his beautiful daughter, Miriel, live a life of harmonious solitude.

Unbeknown to them, a group of grim-eyed, bloodthirsty warriors stalk the mountains. Men who have never known defeat, to whom revenge and torture are meat and drink. For 10,000 in gold they are eager to kill the woodsman.

Battle-hardened warriors all, they have no fear of this task - but they should have. For Miriel is a woman of fire and iron, skilled with bow and blade and taught her skills by one of the deadliest killers of all time: her father, Dakeyras, better known as Waylander the Slayer.

Beautiful story missing last chapter

Waylander II has long been one of my favorites. The story is Gemmell at his best, and this performance is excellent. However, the final chapter and epilogue are missing from this adaptation. The story ends on a flat note at the end of chapter 19. I highly recommend the original book, or the Kindle version. While I enjoyed this adaptation as far as it went, without the ending, I was very disappointed.

Another Another Great One

Another great story by a great story teller. A page turner that excites the mind.

Very good, visually fantastic

I don't write many reviews. Normally I just check the box. But Waylander II beacons me to share. I really enjoyed the story and the performance. Detailed character development is really the star of the show here. But I have a qualm regarding the mystics and sorcerers. I came away wanting more insight to their practice of the arcane arts, their motivations seemed a bit too two dimensional. I still highly recommend.

Waylander 2

This book is great! Great job by the narrator, great job by Gemmell, great job by Waylander!

Consistent and delightful
