The Black Company series is a dark military fantasy story told over course of ten books (with a couple more to come possibly). Now a year later, I have finished all ten novels in the series and not only experienced another amazing tale, but fallen further in love with the genre. After browsing the web looking for another series to dig into I discovered Glen Cook’s Black Company books. When I finished up A Dance with Dragons, I was looking to branch out further into the genre and see what else was on offer. When I got hooked on Game of Thrones and subsequently read the A Song of Ice and Fire novels, I got my first big introduction to fantasy literature and I loved it. They are kind of vague, but if you haven’t read the series they might be worth skipping.) I did however mention some spoilers when talking about my favorites in the bullet points. (This review of Glen Cook’s Black Company series is spoiler-free so I could share why I enjoy it so much with my friends and readers and not spoil anything on the off-chance it motivates any of them to give it a try.
