Reading another influential book in the fantasy genre. Again I can't help but compare it to books I've read that were inspired by this book and have done more and better things in the genre.
I think it's strong suit is the banter and relationships within the company. I was led to this book by someone who said if you enjoy the soldier banter sections of The Malazan Book of the Fallen series this would be a good read.
The action scenes are pretty forgettable. The world building also isn't up to what I'm used to reading by more contemporary works.
