Review

"Sheer page-turning fun--indeed, sometimes I turned the pages so quickly in the heat of adventure that I had to turn back again to see what actually happened!"
--Robin McKinley, author of The Hero and the Crown

Product Description

Croaker has fallen and, following the Company's disastrous defeat at Dejagore, Lady is one of the few survivors&mdashdetermined to avenge the Company and herself against the Shadowmasters, no matter what the cost. But in assembling a new fighting force from the dregs and rabble of Taglios, she finds herself offered help by a mysterious, ancient cult of murder&mdashcompetent, reliable, and apparently committed to her goals. Meanwhile, far away, Shadowmasters conspire against one another and the world, weaving dark spells that reach into the heart of Taglios. And in a hidden grove, a familiar figure slowly awakens to find himself the captive of an animated, headless corpse. Mercilessly cutting through Taglian intrigues, Lady appears to be growing stronger every day. All that disturbs her are the dreams which afflict her by night&mdashdreams of carnage, of destruction, of universal death, unceasing...

4.0 out of 5 stars Building up to a strong finish, Sep 21 2009

By	Athenaeum - See all my reviews

While not the most compelling of the "Black Company" series, "Dreams of Steel" nevertheless delivers - political machinations, company scale combat and lots of moral shades of grey. I also liked the fact that Cook changed the narrator's voice, even if it does not always work. He also gets high points for moving his fantasy "Europeans" out of his fantasy version of "Europe" and into a realm that appears more like India or the Old Ottoman Empire. Besides building believably towards a tragic betrayal that comes about as a result of his characters' bad decisions and shortcomings, Cook carefully lays out elements here that are critical for the full realization of his final vision for the series in the "Glittering Stone" books.

3.0 out of 5 stars Dreams of Steel (spoiler), Jul 9 2003

By A Customer

Lady, now in command of the Black Company, gets drawn into a Thuggee-like cult. Meanwhile, Croaker ends up in the company of Soulcatcher...

Like the books before it, this has a refreshingly straightforward tone and plenty happens. I was frustrated by the lack of increased depth in some of the secondary characters, especially the Swan-Mather-Blade group. And I never felt I had a grasp on what was going on in Longshadow's head. Lady's POV generally works pretty well, though she's awfully slow to realize she's pregnant; the reader is hundreds of pages ahead.

1.0 out of 5 stars Enough, April 22 2002

By A Customer

I am tired of The Black Company and their constant fight for "right". I never really liked the lady. She is just another bad woman turned good and Croaker is another quiet guy turned bad. The rest of the characters are boring or you dont know anything about them.

We all know that the survivors of the black company will ride into the sunset with "the golden child" and Soulcatcher will be defeated. All books end that way. Why can't true evil win sometimes?

Shadowmasters= Taken. Not much of a shock. Althought it would be nice to see The Black Company defeated by someone different. I love Soulcatcher. Finally someone who is evil. Unfortunately we all know what happens to evil people; they make stupid decisions and are defeated by the person with the least amount of power. The killing of the evil person is such a let down after the build up to the end.

I expected more.
