It's happening!

I think I might sound like a bit of a sperg, but Croaker from The Black Company. I share his deep love of history and I'm an absolute sucker for romance subplots. The idea of the big evil bad girl hooking up with some schmuck asshole is pretty much what got me to read the series to start with. It's not something you see often and I love the idea. And while I'm certainly not old like Croaker is, I feel tired too.

Well. I finally finished The Black Company. It feels like some great life's work has been completed. I have mixed feelings on the ending, but it was good overall and I hope Cook writes A Port of Shadows and A Pitiless Rain.

Does anyone else feel that Cook had some missed opportunities when it comes to emotional moments?
