—Library Journal, on Water Sleeps
“Cook provides a rich world of assorted races, cultures, and religions; his characters combine the mythic or exotic with the realistic, engaging in absorbing alliances, enmities, and double-crosses.”
—Publishers Weekly, on Bleak Seasons
“New and innovative. [Cook] blends the urban, intimate, slightly seedy tradition of sword & sorcery with the pastoral, epic, expansive tradition of heroic fantasy . . . this is the book that injected a shot of realism into the genre, and helped steer it on the course towards modern so-called “gritty” fantasy.”
—Strange Horizons, on Chronicles of the Black Company
“Glen Cook changed the face of the fantasy genre forever... and for the better.”
—Fantasy Book Review, on The Black Company
“Began a saga unlike any other I’ve encountered in fantasy literature. . . . It was great. It raised my expectations of a good fantasy novel several notches.”
—SF Site, on The Black Company
“This book’s got some great cussing, it moves along nicely, it’s choppy and delightfully free of lengthy descriptions, it’s got a great set of characters, and some deep thoughts. I’d recommend it to any fantasy lover.”
—Books by L.K. Evans, on The Black Company
“I loved Glen Cook’s writing style, including the first person narration by Croaker, and the dry humor. Also very high on the list are the characters. . . . I enjoyed the book and will continue the series.”
—Bitter Tea and Mystery, on The Black Company
“Cook’s fantasy is always worth my time to read. . . . Cook deals masterfully with themes of morality, necessity, redemption, personal character, integrity, etc.”
