A review by mercog
Chronicles of the Black Company by Glen Cook

4.0

Very different style. I can see why so many of my favorite author cite this as an influence. I really liked these first three books, but I'm hesitant to continue reading after finishing the 4th in the series. Mr Cook suffers from a pretty bad case of the "just kidding's".

Also, loses a little respect just because he doesn't even bother to try to explain how his magic system works. Call me spoiled by Jordan and Sanderson, but it just seems lazy not to work out some sort of a framework.
