Just finished the third (and best so far, in my opinion) omnibus of this entertaining niche 1980s/1990s fantasy series about the grim adventures of a brotherhood of roughneck mercenaries over several decades. Gallows humor, hard-boiled narration, bewildering battles with a “grunt” POV, decidedly trippy magic…the unpolished blue-collar vibe of “The Black Company” series is subversive and strangely addictive. I‘ll be finishing the series soon.
