She Is The Darkness
|
This, the Second Book of Murgen, continues to make use of Smoke's
unusual talents to provide a broad perspective to the Annalist's
recording of events following the end of the Dejagore siege. With
the Black Company reunited with its Captain in Taglios, the time for
the invasion of the Shadowlands has come, and preperations are moving
rapidly. The intrigue is moving rapidly as well, for the Black
Company has a long memory for betrayal, and the rulers of Taglios are
beginning to think that their allies may just be worse than their
enemies. She Is The Darkness settles down considerably compared to the somewhat unsteady narrative in Bleak Seasons. As with the rest of the Black Company books, the prose is workmanlike rather than poetic, the narrative voice of a soldier rather than a artist. Yet the strength of the characters and plot shines through clearly, providing an engrossing tale of the infamous mercenary company just one step short of their long quest for Khatovar. |
