The Black Company

Tried this book just for the sake of wanting to dig a bit more into fantasy stuff.

Well, I enjoyed the writing style, and that was most of my takeaway. No idea what's happening until way past the middle of the book. Very cool.

The plot is not very deep. It is basically a tale of a mercenary band full of unusual characters going places. Places not so easy to spot by the reader. You literally don't know where these guys are until you see some hints here and there.

Also, even though the scope is not huge, the world-building (from what you can understand) is good enough.

I am not an avid fantasy reader, but in summary, the puzzle writing and the diverse cast were the best here.

Not sure if I want to continue the series, though.
