The hell you smoking? This entire Series every saga until the end is MUST READ FANTASY... It's by far the most universal an cosmic traveling magical an scientific syfy fantasy EVER CREATED! Raymond Feist was so far beyond his time writing all this! His work stands next to Tolkien alone an goes far beyond anything Tolkien imagined ... These are thee best fantasy books of all time right under Tolkien's work. These stories are the new age cosmic LOTR's of their time!

I don't know if you ever went back and finished the Black company series, but if you haven't you should. It has one book left which has not come out yet, (A Pityless rain) But the series has a secret that I don't think I've ever seen another series emulate. In point of fact, Glen Cook ran the longest long con in book stories ever in fantasy. He planned out a story that has only just semi wrapped up and wrapped around itself. Started in 1984 The Black company just revealed that he planned and has been executing a hidden story line the whole time. The book sequence is The black company (1984) A port of Shadows (2018, Shadowslinger, The white rose, (the silver spike) Shadow Games, Dreams of steel, Bleak season, She is the Darkness, Water Sleeps, soldiers Live, Port of Shadows. What you ask? How can the same book be in two places in the order at once? Because, as I said, glen cook has been running a story parallel to the main story the whole time, while at the same time using the same characters. Literally Croaker and the Lady have been throughout the whole story, subtly and carefully guiding their past selves to the conclusion of the series. Literally in book one, croakers vision... was given to him... by himself. Lady, has been likewise been guided by herself to her ultimate fate decades later... and all the clues, if you go back and re-read the whole story, are right there in front of you the whole time. Again, if you've not read it all none of this makes a lick of sense... but read the whole series, in this order... Learn who Tedais Elba is... and then complete the series and re-reead port of shadows... and the whole story unfolds and shows you how clever and cagey cook really was after all.

Thanks! I enjoyed your review very much.

It's not really fantasy, it's speculative fiction.

I loved when Sue got Carted, that was filthy. The entire series is wonderful.

Sounds good

have read the entire series including the latest volume , port of shadows , and I`ve read them all multiple times , the series is that good ! and is from book one ! but when I first started on the series it was new , and is so well written that it is worth revisiting every few years !

You might enjoy Malazan, as it is also grimdark military epic fantasy, and it's author, Stephen Erikson, has said that The Black Company was a big inspiration for him.

I really enjoyed the book and would absolutely recommend it.

Hey you should do more review

i came this video because i have watched xmen united , this book mentioned in the movie

Thanks!

First book was SO hard! The first chapter took many re-reads and words looked up. Ultimately so fulfilling and great. Fighting through the first book made it feel like an accomplishment and I'm so glad I stuck through it. GREAT SERIES!

You may have already figured this out but this omnibus is the first in a series of 4. I remember reading through the first omnibus and then finding out there were more and was blown away. This felt like a complete wrapped up story. But the other books go much further out exploring the world and whatnot. Shit gets more confusing than game of thrones trying to remember who's who. But its one of my favorite series I've ever read. And they only get longer after the first omnibus too. I'd say the series as a whole is probably over 3000 pages.

Thank you for you input. I can't wait to read it. I'm not big on reading but I want to start maybe this can be the book.

I read this 30 years ago and the unicorn hunt has always haunted me. White inspired me to study Arthurian lit at uni, reading all the original sources. I just re-read this again and was astounded at White's depth of knowledge of the primary sources --- and he way he breaks the 4th wall often contain little nuggets about his personal take on these ancient interpretations without spelling things out. As for Pellinore ...I bet that his character scenes were behind a lot of Monty Python's Holy grail.

Have you read Dread empire series? Also written by Cook, similar in style

Great review

Wow...I have never listened to a more boring, nauseating, completely pointless review on a book in my life. I would suggest that you stop reviewing books, full stop, you are terrible at it. Even if you liked a book and wanted to share that book with the world, people would not hear the conclusion of your review as it would have put them to sleep at best but most likely they may be encouraged to beat their head against a rock to get the irritating whine of you voice out of their now ruined minds. Why do a review on something you don't like? Why even read it for that matter. I must confess I didn't get past 3 minutes before almost barfing on the completely mind numbing, droning monologue of your voice. Obviously I don't agree with your review, your conclusion, your opinion or your mind numbing narration, I just found it really poorly presented overall. My conclusion is cease doing book reviews permanently and find another avenue of expression in your life. You add nothing to the greater knowledge base of our society by your efforts and only achieve the torment and torture the poor general public who might be unfortunate enough to happen upon your video.

I loved book one, book two was mostly great, then book three was mostly not great, it just went too far away from the small magics system the first book was built around, I also didn't like Vi's character in any way, she's a complete nobody then she's the best "wizard" the world has ever seen and her shoved in romance didn't help. Most reviews ive seen love the ending of the third book but it wasn't great imo.

Just finished book 1, then turned around and bought the omnibus. (Northern campaign) I really enjoyed this read and I'm excited to get back into it.

This was a great series in my opinion. It's basically what got me into fantasy. All I read before was Anne Rice and star wars. I had no idea this was even going to be an epic fantasy. I picked it up because the cover..

I cried at the end.

Gotta read this.

👍🔥🔥🔥

I respectfully disagree! This was Feist's very first work and he was learning how to write... There is barely any magic in the first two books and you can not even begin to judge the saga without reading the rest of it(Silverthorn, A darkness at Sethanon). I implore you to at very least read to the end of this saga. I guarantee you will change your opinion if you continue... Feist doesn't even touch on most of the important plot points in the magician books and it really opens up after that! Hope you can get around to finishing and please make another review if you do

Went thought the entire series by far my favourite

I was really surprised that in this version Pellinore was turned into comic relief. Sir Pellinore was the greatest knight in the realm, kicked Arthur's butt, and refused to join him (which, iirc, would have been the first knight of the round) b/c he didn't want to be tied down. He, instead, sent some of his sons, including Percival to join Arthur.

I will read this book now 🤩

Decent review. I liked the second book the best, I found Kylar's internal struggle in that book the most compelling and I also really enjoyed the scene where Sister Ariel finds him dead and then realises he's immortal.
