Kullervo is such an interesting piece. Because you’re 100% correct. This shouldn’t have been published. And yet, I loved every minute of it. Largely just due to loving Tolkien’s writing itself, which is all this was. A lot of people think Emperor’s Soul is Sanderson’s best work, and it is the one that I didn’t love as much as I thought I would, or probably should’ve. Good thoughts. -T

Interesting selections. I'm going to try out Under the Eagle and see if I like it.

@@jpharkerwales OK, now I have read it. Well, it is interesting to see the Claudian invasion of Britain from the camp instead of from the Capitol. I agree with you that Macro and Cato make a good pair. My only complaint is that the episode of the treasure wagon to be rescued from the swamp seems to me more than a bit far-fetched and improbable.

@@abbydavis1939 Agreed about the wagon, but the quality of the rest made me forgive it - so long as the majority of the book is good, I can overlook the odd plot contrivance (so long as they're rare - it's an unpolular opinion but I found the Belgariad was SO full of that kind of stuff that I just couldn't enjoy it)
