: Glen Cook begins with these 2 books to immerse us into
: the world of the south, which has elements of African
: and Middle Eastern cultures and religions.
Ever notice the Indian influence in there? I thought Kenna (who's name I've fogotten how to spell it seems...) and the Stranglers could have been pulled right out of the 70 kingdomes in the 18th century.
: After the 2 books of the South, comes the four and
: apparently final Glittering Stone, beginning with
: Bleak Seasons, then She is the Darkness, then Water
: Sleeps, and ending with Soldiers Live. I won't say
: anything about these because... my fingers hurt &
: I'm tired. Hey I'm honest!
Bleak Seasons is the best out of the entire series next to the first book IMHO. Mostly this is because it regains some of the gritty tone of The Black Company. Murgen's experiances are especially moving.
