Action-packed fantasy about a mercenary company. This is the first book in the first trilogy involving the black company, and in this book, they are actually serving evil. Well, it's a war, and it seems both sides are more or less evil. But they are serving some reanimated evil guys with charming names as Soulcatcher, Bonegnasher and Moonbiter. Not exactly the typical good guys - bad guys setting.

It's a good story, maybe a bit too fast sometimes, a lot of skipping less important parts, it's more of a fight here, a fight there. But the story is suppose to be a chronicle of some sort, so I guess only the important parts are recorded.
