Why read it?
1 author picked The Gates of Troy as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
Eperitus is not a hero. He is a soldier with a murky past who just wants to serve a noble lord and do better with his life. I love that he always strives to do the right thing, even when he is caught in the center of the great war for Troy.

From Danny's list on fantasy with unlikely but loveable heroes.
