Title: A good but rushed finish
Review: Glen Cook's final of the first "trilogy" of Black Company novels finishes the story began in "The Black Company" and continued to great effect in "Shadows Linger". The story reaches its conclusion with some good storytelling and a few surprises, but there were a few things about this installment that disappointed. In particular, details about the role of the Old Father Tree, Tracker and Toadkiller Dog, and the final battle with the Dominator all could have used greater development. Each of these offered interesting twists but the details were too few and potentially worthwhile tangents were touched on all too briefly and largely left unexplored.Despite these issues, it was good to finish the trilogy and Cook has won me over. I'll be looking into the further exploits of his Black Company.
