Shadows Linger - Glen Cook (Annals of the Black Company, Bk 2)

14 Feb 2015
This is the second book of the Black Company series and it was far better than the first. Cook finally reaches his stride with this one. Enough is going on with a goal and you actually have something to worry about and characters to invest in. Better pace, more purpose comes out in this book that did not appear in the previous. While important things happened in the first, the events of this book were more enthralling, even if they were, mostly, less important for the development of the long term story.
I will definitely go onto the third after this one. I was dubious after the first, but I'm glad I tried out another.
