She is the Darkness by Glen Cook
5.0
(2nd read)
A great return to form for the series. The plots of the big players are interesting and just tantalizingly beyond reach, the Company is acting and moving, and the events and scattered lore of the previous three books are finally coming together.
Loved the reveal of Blade's double turn, Sleepy's sex (though certainly wish gender was handled in a more interesting way), and just about everything Lady does. The Nar, Taglians and especially Nyueng Bao are given some humanity and the whole thing feels much more alive than it did previously.
Is this book suddenly perfectly political correct? No, its a cishet white patriatchal army dude narrating. But damn its an improvement.
I think this is basically as far as I got on my previous read, back in 2016/7. Looking forward to seeing what comes next!
