Pros: Well-written. Cynical, but appealing. First of a trilogy, but a good story all by itself. Cons: If you want acts of conspicuous heroism in the defense of Justice, you'll be disappointed.
The Black Company is a mercenary outfit composed of several hundred men as we first meet them, which has been roving from one commission to another for something like four hundred years. They are supposedly the last of the Free Companies of Khatovar. We...
Pros: Suspense, Great Characters, Engaging Story Cons: It has cons????
As an avid fantasy reader I don't know how on earth could I have passed up this series for so long. These are, by far, the BEST fantasy books I have ever read! Gritty, realistic, back stabbing, dark fantasy at it's best!
Pros: Very well written. Characters are incredible. Plot complexity adds to the mood. Cons: After the third book the series starts to die a bit.

Pros: For the series overall: Lots of books, wonderfully engaging story, well-written characters,makes you want more Cons: For the series overall: Occasionally some characters seem too similar, the end of Water Sleeps is somewhat unsatisfying to say the least

Pros: Great storytelling and character development along with battlefield tactics Cons: None
Until last year I had never heard of this book, this series, or even Glen Cook who wrote it. I just happened to see a book from this series and decided I might as well try out "Black Company." That was one of the best choices I could have made, because...
Pros: Great. Well Written. Interesting Plot. Cons: None.
Sometimes simple is good. This series of books, starting with the Black Company are simple and good. The plot is well written and the characters are very well developed. Glen Cook accomplishes a lot in 319 pages. The book is written in the first...
