I'm rereading this book for the 3rd or 4th time. Although it's often viewed
as the least favorite Black Company book, I've always liked it.
One thing that troubles lots of readers (including myself) is the way the
storyline jumps back and forth in time. As I recall, (from faulty memory of a
book read some years ago), there were the following timelines in the story:
The Siege of Dejagore.
Murgen and the BC back in the capital city some few months after the siege
was lifted. Most of this timeline seems to have been spent with Croaker and the
wizards trying to figure out what was Murgen's problem.
The BC again in the capital city, far into the future, many months after
timeline #2, after Murgen's family have been "killed".
I seem to remember a 4th I might be mixing things up. It's easy to do with
this story. There was something about an attack on the Deceivers' meeting place
the storyteller knew wouldn't be completely successful?
Then there's the burning annals referred to in the beginning of the book.
What timeline do those belong to and did this happen during the Deceiver attack?
Anyway, any thoughts on the above will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Brian
