2.0 out of 5 stars More of a Dungeons and Dragons story then a Hyborian Adventure, January 10, 2006
I love the concept of the Age of the Conan Hyborian Adventures, but not this book so much.
The story started out strong and I like the plot, but it ended up being more of a Dungeon and Dragon story then something that should be taking place in a Robert Howard creation.
A lot of writers have tried a hand at Conan, but only a few get it right. While Robert Howard's stories can be rightly accused of being somewhat formulated, there is a certain feel to them that either you get or you don't. I'm sure it's a daunting task to carry on another writer's concept and come-up with good orginal stories, but if you're going to take it on, it needs to be done right.
This story just didn't fit into a Robert Howard creation.
The rest of the Age of the Conan, need to be more like Legend of Kern or I think Howard fans are going to be very disappointed.

4.0 out of 5 stars A compelling start to a mysterious story, October 9, 2005
Continuing on with the "Age of Conan" series, after Coleman's Legends of Kern trilogy, York takes us to a place, that as far as I know, no other author has had the opportunity to write about in novel format: Stygia.

York does an exceptional job in his portrayal of Stygia; breathing life and mystery into the setting and scenery of one of Hyborias most deadly places.

Character development is good, but focused almost too much on Anok, the main character. I guess this makes sense in book one, but hopefully York will take a few more pages in book 2 and 3 to really develop Anok's companions.

Overall a good book, at least on par with the Kern series, if not better. This book is better than a Forgotten Realms novel, yet still lacking something to take it into area of epic fantasy...the Kern novels suffer from this as well. There are several areas that the story seems "rushed"... and given the time frame the author had to write the book, that's understandable. The romantic scenes are a little cheesy, but it is overall an entertaining read and a series worth picking up if you like Hyboria.

4.0 out of 5 stars 4 stars-A solid read, October 7, 2007
By Dark Fortress "Zorastor" (North West Florida) - See all my reviews
This book is a solid read. No its not REH, its York. if you want to only read Howard's Conan then read only Howard. But if you want to read a solid action packed story set in Howards world this is a good book for you. The plot is good, and the characters have breath. There are some PG-13 clean sex scenes in it as well that are are quite nice. Its a quick and easy read and wont let you down. I give it a C+ , one thumb up.
