I picked this one up mainly because I was interested in the author of "Altered Carbon" (still unread by me). I like dark fantasy well enougDNF at 36%.
I picked this one up mainly because I was interested in the author of "Altered Carbon" (still unread by me). I like dark fantasy well enough, but I am beginning to suspect that I have been spoiled by Glen Cook. In other words, I tend to compare (sometimes without even being aware of it) all the dark fantasy books I read with the Black Company series. Some books can take it, and some cannot.

Not my cup of tea....more
