Book Reviews of Kull: Exile of Atlantis
Book Review: A barbarian just as mighty
Summary: 5 Stars
If I could describe Kull in a nutshell, it would be as a more philosophical, brooding barbarian than Conan, though just as interesting. And though Kull never gained the popularity that Conan did, I find Howard's Kull stories equally as good, especially if you are a Howard fan or a lover of old school sword and sorcery.
The setting of the Kull stories is the fictional land of Valusia. Kull is an Atlantean savage who has usurped the Valusian throne, and though he rules with compassion and fairness he is often secretly hated by the Valusians who see him as a red-handed foreigner not fit to wear the crown.
The Kull stories contained within this volume involve various court intrigues and the perilous adventures Kull is often forced to undertake. Most are good, some excellent, and only a couple would I rate as sub-par. The setting is dark and mysterious (and made more so by the gorgeous illustrations of Justin Sweet that fill this book), and Howard's lush, vibrant writing style is present as usual. If you are a Howard and/or Conan fan, you need to get this book, especially if you've never read Kull before. For the price you'll pay here, its worth every cent.
