The Wolf's Call by Anthony Ryan
2.0
Really enjoyed the character of Vaelin Al Sorna, especially in the context of the hard training he and his brothers went through to be kick ass soldiers, as detailed in Blood Song. But I read the first trilogy well over ten years ago, so found myself barely remembering some of the back story mentioned in this book.
I found this one mildly entertaining, but derivative and predictable. Nothing about the culture of the Merchant Kings was unique enough to be memorable and the set up of the leader of the horse tribes as a god was predictable, but the whole concept of them was a poor man's version of the Dothraki.
It was a good book to read on a long drive to Seattle (The wife drove), but I suspect it won't stick in my mind for very long.
