Thoughts on K J Parker's The Company
Dec. 21st, 2009 10:49 pmThis isn't going to be a review as such; ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
coalescent and tamaranth have done much better jobs than I could here and here respectively. Instead there are a few aspects of the novel I just feel the need to pass comment on.
( Spoilers, not surprisingly )
None of this detracts from The Company being a very readable book, and arguably a good introduction to Parker for those wary of wading into a lengthy trilogy. I'm quite tempted to recommend it for our book group, although I'm not sure how they'd react to such a non-fantasy fantasy, if you get my meaning.
