Finally, up to date on my postings. For now.
Conan's settled in for the time being in Zamora, the City of Thieves. And as such we see some characters sticking around for more than 5 minutes. Jiara is his his main squeeze at the moment, although she's causing him quite some aggravation. She keeps Conan happy in the sack as long as he provides plenty of shiny objects for her. Such is life.
And there's Nestor Gunderman, who's weaving in and out of Conan's adventures in Zamora.
We actually see the three of them riding off at the end of the book together. Nestor joining the duo for who knows what may lay ahead. But that's skipping ahead. The Hall of the Dead story is pretty cool. Very magical. Overall though, this book is more about the life of thievery in Zamora and the politics that go along with it, than out and out sword and sorcery. It's a bit more of a morality tale. Maybe slightly slower in pacing than some of the other books. But nonetheless, well worth the read and a great continuation in the saga of the Nemedian Chronicles.
Crom's balls!
