There isn't usually a lot of originality or innovation in the barbarian genre, so I was pleasantly surprised by this. The helmet gives Gath an interesting dimension, and none of the other characters seem flat, even if they are the usual type of characters you see in these stories. The writing was quite nice, and I really enjoyed the fights. The lead up to the fight between Baskt and Gath was well done, though I would have liked more building up to the fight between Gath and the Lord of Night. I particularly enjoyed the character of Brown John, whose age and stage background made him fun to read. The only major complaint I have is the swiftness of Menefret's introduction and fight, and the constant descriptions of Robin and Cobra's beauty and voluptuousness. I get it, they're gorgeous and all, but I doubt that's changed much in the last ten pages. Still, my complaints are small ones, and I found myself liking this one.
Dobrodružstvo pokračuje. Temná vília královná sa snaží zničiť Gatha a Červenku, aby obnovila silu stojho pána, Temného boha. Posiela proti nim rôzne monštrá - bohov skazy, avšak Gath sa ako obvykle s problémami vysporiada. Samozrejme len vďaka rohatej helme. Výprava Hnedého Jendy, Jakara, Červenky, Kobry a samozrejme Gatha putuje do centra zla - Pyramu. Pokračovanie mi už neprišlo až také chytľavé ako prvý diel. Zase tu máme barbara, ktorého nič nezastaví. Knižka je pekne ukončená a tak som zvedavý, na aké problémy narazia hrdinovia v pokračovaní.
