Welcome to the list, Jim. Things have been a bit quiet lately, but we get

Hello, Jim, and welcome. You'll find that the list goes through
sporadic quiet periods and then gets busy for a few weeks when someone
says something to spark people's interest.
I tend to agree with your assessment of the series. I found
"Bleak Seasons" to be rather tedious and was glad to see it pick up
again in the last couple books.
Have you read any other Glen Cook stories?
Steve

Subject: (glencook-fans) recommendation on Garrett books
While waiting (perhaps in vain, but who knows) for Glen to decide to
write another Black Company novel, I thought I'd give his Garrett series
a try. Should this series be read in order or can I just pick one up
and read it stand alone? If I were to read just one, any
recommendations as to which one?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Jim
