  1. The Black Company

    Glen Cook · The Black Company #1

    Spice 1/5 Darkness 4/5

    Croaker, the company's doctor and record keeper, writes down what a mercenary band does after signing on with the Lady, who is pretty clearly the villain. Dry, cynical and short. The book half of modern grimdark is quietly copying.
