This whole series is just amazing! Thought it's for readers that like fantasy and medieval stuff like swords magic and wizardry. the only thing is it starts kind of slow but any picks up and that's how all of these books are they start slow and then they pick up I honestly recommend it for any big nerds that like fantasy hands down one of my favorite series now!

This series is a work of art. A true masterpiece of the genre. It touches on something truly dark that resides in the human spirit and wrenches apart a fissure in one's soul as you follow the Company through their trials.

A Long Road

Very long, and mostly very good, interesting perspective about good and evil and about doing the right thing. Shifting storyteller along the various generations is an interesting concept

[Jason Makins · Rating 5 out of 5]

One of the best, different and addictive

One of those series I heard about for years thanks to GURPS but never could get started in.


If you're sick to death of YA tropes and Campbell's Hero's Journey this series is worth a gander.

Nostalgia read that did not hold up.
