Check out my YouTube channel where I show my instant reactions to reading fantasy books as soon as I finish the book.
The best Black Company book since the first entry, and a thoroughly wonderful read from start to finish
After The White Rose, which was book #3, I really didn't know how this series was possibly going to continue. It felt like a clear ending to the story, with the Black Company splitting up and going separate ways, and the central antagonist in the land being vanquished.
But oh how I was wrong! Very quickly the Black Company starts recruiting again, and the new recruits give vibrant life to this series that evokes the amazing feelings of the first book again. The story progression is incredible, and the new goal that the company needs to resolve feels even more grandiose than what the first trilogy covered.
The dynamic between the characters is the high point of this book, and it's so great just being with the characters interacting with one another from a first person narrative perspective. There are double crosses, swists, epic stakes, and an infuriatingly enormous cliffhanger at the end - which is perfectly okay since this series is completed and you can just keep on reading to get it resolved.
I am fully back sucked into this world, and can't wait to continue this series to see where it goes.
