Publisher Description
The Gods are dead. The Magelord Salazar and his magically enhanced troops, the Augmentors, crush any dissent they find in the minds of the populace. On the other side of the Broken Sea, the White Lady plots the liberation of Dorminia, with her spymistresses, the Pale Women. Demons and abominations plague the Highlands.
The world is desperately in need of heroes. But what it gets instead are a ragtag band of old warriors, a crippled Halfmage, two orphans and an oddly capable manservant: the Grim Company.

Worth a read
I believe this is the author’s first novel. As such, it is an excellent effort. While some areas of character development aren’t really as good as they could be. One strong example is MC Cole displays behaviour more typical of someone a couple of years younger than the character is shown. Making the character less obvious in his self delusion and narcissism, or a little younger would have made it more believable. Making more allusions to the heroic conventions in popular literature, movies and melodramas would have made it funnier. He sort of straddles a line between believable character development and satire and then seems to slip over into serious character. That process … the author finding the voice for his writing , and some more critical review… could use some polishing. I don’t regret reading it. I will probably buy the series.
