Shadow Games (The Chronicles of the Black Company, #4)
by
by
Glen Cook is a true master of military fantasy. This is grimdark at its best before it was even a thing.
We are once again with Croaker and the Black Company and that is very welcome. The Company goes to new, exotic lands reminiscent of the Indian subcontinent. Here they face a new evil and fight the best battle of the series so far, hands down.
Everything Glen Cook is here: the fast pacing, the sparse writing, the lack of description, the brutality, the humour and the military life.
The 5 stars is sort of accumulated for the series so far. I really loved the Books of the North but had little issues with each one of them. But then I compare them with everything else I've read and realise at least one of them deserves 5 stars. So Shadow Games it is.
