About this listen

For years, Glen Cook's Black Company series has built a major audience among fantasy fans. Told from the "worm's-eye" view of the soldiers and functionaries who fight in the trenches of vast sorceress wars, this epic has riveted a generation of readers. If the Joseph Heller of Catch-22 were to tell the story of The Lord of the Rings, it might read like the Black Company books. There is nothing else in fantasy like them. Now Cook brings the latest cycle of the Black Company saga to a major climax, as the survivors of the disaster at the end of She is Darkness regroup in Taglios. Determined to free their fellow warriors held in stasis beneath the glittering plain, they journey there under terrible conditions, arriving just in time for a magical conflagration in which the bones of the world will be revealed, the history of the Company unveiled, and new worlds gained and lost...all at a major price. Wry, tough-minded, brilliantly imagined, and told with enormous flair, Water Sleeps is Glen Cook at the top of his game.

This is easily in my top 3 books in the series but

BUT

The editing is just AWFUL. You can constantly hear sounds of wet mouth, loud swallows, and there are plenty of long empty spaces in the middle and at the end of chapters. I have to wonder if someone accidentally stitched together unedited files or something, the mic was wayyy too close to the narrator, who I must believe is not at fault since I've listened to and enjoyed their other works from audible. What an absolute shame.

Otherwise, I love this story. More of the good stuff from Glen cook!
