Shadows Linger was even better than the first book in The Black Company series. It had all the positives of the first book and successfully replaced the slow campaign marches with some exciting intrigue. I worried about the split POV's for a while, but it worked out well in the end as Maron Shed turned out to be as fascinating a character to read about as Croaker.

After the way this book ended I'm looking forward to reading The White Rose.

Rating: 4 stars. ...more

The book was ok, but nothing special. Croaker kind of annoys me. I liked Shed though. It was an ok story but nothing overly memorable.

Second book in the classic Black Company series. I feel bad about waiting so long. If I had to do it all over again, I would have read this series before I started on Steven Erikson's Malazan Series. ...more
