A review by grmatthews
The Grim Company by Luke Scull

4.0

It is a dark and gritty tale. The world building is excellent and I enjoyed the set up of the Mage Lords and the war against the Gods. The characters are well drawn though I did wonder, as I read, why the 'hero' shifted from one person to another as the book progressed. This was perhaps clever plotting, bearing mind the ending and the set up for book two, or the realisation that the original hero wasn't that likeable and heroic. I am choosing to believe it was the former of the two - the book is too well written and engrossing for it to be the latter.
