I re-read this due to my friend Stephen's glowing review. I'm glad I did. The mythology was excellent. It's been a lot of years since I've read anything by Anderson, although I liked his books quite a bit when I was younger. I think I bought this in the late 70's, have had it around ever since & am glad I hung on to it. It was a fabulous read, a type of fantasy I rarely see any more. Very reminiscent of Beowulf - I know of no higher praise. I think one reason I didn't rate it higher before was because the action was somewhat understated & the jarring ending, which was really quite perfect. I plan to read Three Hearts and Three Lions again soon, another classic by him. I rated it higher than this book, which is surprising. More surprising is that his SF is every bit as good. I'll have to re-read a couple of them one day soon, too.
