Troy Lord of the Silver Bow by David Gemmell

Historical fiction is my all-time favorite genre. Add to that a little mythology, magic, and mysticism and I'm head-over-heels. I anticipated being completely swept up by Lord of the Silver Bow but sadly found myself a bored by it. The story is interesting but it drags on. I suspect that this first novel is setting the events and characters in place for the following two but I'm not intrigued enough to continue.
