Classic sci-fi/fantasy literature. The writing style can be a bit off-putting, as it is not heavy on description. Cook leaves it to the reader to let the imagination fill in details, and *gasp* imagine for themselves what something looked like exactly. If you have an active imagination, you'll probably love this. It's NOT George R.R. Martin filled with endless, on-going descriptions of every nitpick detail. In that same vein, it is not Tolkien, with some great explanation as to how things came to be. Instead, you're thrust into things riding in the hip pocket of a "combat medic", and how he sees things as he attempts to chronicle his unit's actions, and how he becomes engrossed in a world that he never expected to find himself plunged into.The first part reads like a war diary (which, it kind of is) in a medieval "Vietnam". The "good guys" are hardly good, the "bad guys" are not all that bad, most of the time. He approaches his fantasy world in varying shades of grey, with true light/darkness being very, very rare. War is pictured as the ugly, dirty thing that it truly is (former combat medic myself... so maybe I'm biased), with all of the moral ambiguity and heartache that can accompany it. There's no sex scenes but there's some discussion of the things men historically have done in war as conquerors. The ugly side of human nature isn't overly dramatized as Martin tends to do..... but the author does not shy away from it either.My best recommendation to a reader new to it is.... start reading, and don't give up for at least 10 chapters. Admittedly, I passed up this book several times before my friend convinced me to really try it. I started it, got about 10% in...... and was firmly hooked to the point of staying up waaaaaaaaaaaay too late on worknights.
Cook paints with a human brush, characters have a feel of real people capable of failure and epic heroics that we can bond with.Not a typical evil is evil and good is good epic, human failings are real, and integrating that makes the characters that much more realistic and relatable.Conflict is not only on the battle fields,the subtle conflict in the hearts of the main characters as they struggle to understand what is truly right keeps them fresh and unpredictable in the long run. The lack of a stylish "beautiful" fantasy world gives the tale it's gritty reality but paints a world with no less depth than other popular fantasy works. The mercenary outlook and toned down "Magical" element give the story a human feel that latches on and makes it hard to put this book down. Should be part of any action/military/fantasy readers collection!
After thoroughly loving The Black Company and the Books of the South, I was overall disappointed in the direction the series takes here.Murgen takes over the narration, and in Bleak Seasons we rewind to see the Siege of Dejagore from the inside. Overall, I didn't mind this. But two points rubbed me the wrong way. The first is that he has a terrible relationship with One-Eye, where they are always nasty to each other. Lacking any other meaningful relationships, Murgen's story lacks heart. The other thing was that we are apparently done being close to (in the minds of) Croaker and Lady. They become distant commanders, and I really missed knowing them.I disliked the second half, "She is the Darkness". What we have here is a long, tedious campaign against an incompetent, inferior enemy. From the beginning it's clear that the enemy is outmanned, makes poor choices, is unskilled, and is falling apart. Victory seems certain. But there are hundreds upon hundreds of pages of skirmishes and waiting around and marching and skirmishes and waiting and camping and more waiting. Only near the very end do they make progress towards their ultimate goal, and when I'm finally excited and into it: BOOM, they skip over the ending. Imagine: you step up to the boss battle, black out before it begins, and then wake up the next day eating a sandwich. That's where the book ends. So unsatisfying.I have the final book, but I'm not sure I'm going to read it.
I first started reading Glen Cook back in the 70's when the first Dread Empire book was released and continued with his Black Company novels when they started being released in the mid 1980's. However with the delays in the release of Glittering Stone and RL intervening, my consumption of not only Glen Cook, but all authors, nose-dived. However now that I am in retirement, I've started picking up books that I liked back in the 70's and 80's. Most have been disappointments since I guess my tastes have matured. However, the Black Company books are some of the exceptions to that as they have held up remarkably well. If you are a fan of the genre known as GrimDark, then you should be aware that Glen Cook was the progenitor. He may be better known these days as the author of the Garrett PI series, which is much lighter, but to me his best works are his earliest.
I bought this long before I had my Kindle because of a review on the back of the book that said something like Glen Cook has done away with the archetypes of the fantasy genre. I get really bored of fantasy because of the various tropes and focus on world-building instead of life-building, so I looked forward to reading this. It's now one of my favorite books of all time. I certainly had never read a piece of fantasy fiction quite like this before. When I got my Kindle, this was top on my list of adding to it so that I could read it again.
