Which is do say, do they succeed at what they attempt.I mean, saying that Conan the Conqueror compares unfavorably to The Brothers Karamazov is like complaining that Die Hard isn't Citizen Kane...both are classics of their genre.Anyways, give Darkness Weaves and Dark Crusade by Karl Edward Wagner a try.They are about the Immortal, Cursed Swordsman, Kane. Both books have plenty of political intriguing as well as dark sorcery, rich supporting characters, and bloody violence.Darkeness Weaves is a grossly overlooked masterpiece of the genre in my opinion.No Idea how it compares to The Brothers Karamazov <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" /></blockquote>
