Sometimes, you put off reading a book. You make up reasons. You forget about it, remember, are unsure.... I finally read the second "Black Company" novel. What is wrong with me?!? Why did I take so long to read this? It was fantastic! It was fantastic from the beginning right on through the end. I generally don't like fantasy, but this book was wonderful. I heartily recommend... unless you are fussy about sexism. The main characters use a few unpleasant words (and I literally mean "a few", since there are about two or three usages that I can think of) and descriptions of women. It is in character and seems in no way to reflect the author's feeling about female characters, since there are some quite powerful female characters in the story. But if that's going to bother you, you might want to read something else.

The prose is infinitely better than the first book. Glen Cook takes his time in this novel to flesh out both old and new characters. The plot is a slow burn but picks up in the second half.
