5/28/2023 0 Comments The black company novelThe first book in the omnibus and series, The Black Company was a good start and introduction to the series but not an easy one to get into for me. Same as my review for Riyria Revelations omnibuses, I won’t be writing a full review for each book but I’ll write a mini-review for each book in this volume instead. These three made up for the first story arc in the series: Books of the North story arc. Chronicles of the Black Company omnibus comprises of the first three books in the series: The Black Company, Shadows Linger, and The White Rose. The differences between Erikson and Cook would be that Erikson’s series is gigantically more massive in scope and difficulty. There were many aspects that displayed them similarities between the Bridgeburners and the Black Company, a storytelling style that drops readers into the midst of the plot without any clear explanation, just to name a few without spoilers. The Chronicles of the Black Company by Glen Cook is a series that Steven Erikson has praised intensely for a long time now, it’s even considered to be his inspiration for Malazan Book of the Fallen and after reading this omnibus, I can certainly see why. Published: 18th September, 2018 by Gollancz (UK) & 13th November 2017 by Tor Books (US) Genre: Fantasy, Grimdark fantasy, Epic Fantasy Series: The Chronicles of the Black Company (Book #1-3 of 9) Chronicles of the Black Company by Glen Cook
