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 they get instead are a ragtag band of old warriors, a crippled Halfmage, two orphans and an oddly capable manservant: the Grim Company.

Took me a while to get hooked. But it finally did toward the end. It isn't Abercrombie, but perhaps the next best thing. It had a more dnd vibe which was refreshing. Super fantasy mixed with grimdark. pretty cool. I recommend it to any fantasy readers.

good read

Would you consider the audio edition of The Grim Company to be better than the print version?

I think some of the voices given to certain characters are priceless, so yes.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Cole, the true born hero. I laughed so hard so many times hearing him boosting his own deluded hero image.

What does Gerard Doyle bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

he did a find job, read above.

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

the barbarians.

Any additional comments?

This book needs your attention, heard it almost halfway through while doing other stuff, gaming, working etc. Didn't get me, then I decided I should give it proper attention else the story is a bit hard to follow with the unconventional storytelling. I loved it when I did:D

Uncommon book

Overall, this was a great book and a great performance. My only issue was the the narrator kept switching the name of a magical weapon! Half the time it would be correct and the other half incorrect. It took my half the book to figure out what the correct name was. However, that's my only complaint!

Great Except For One Thing

I probably started this three times before listening through. The narrator does a fair job, but without much difference in his characters I found it somewhat droll. The story is not full of surprises, but I do think Scull built a cool fantasy world. A lot of the likable things are very Glen Cook like, but there are worse things to be compared to. The first two thirds of the story are unremarkable, but if you can stick with it, the final third is engaging. I will wait for a sale to pick up the next title in the series. I probably would have enjoyed it more if I hadn't read Abercrombie's work first.

Better than some give it credit for, but not great.

Among the best, most engaging grimdark fantasy I've read. Similar to First Law series by Joe Abercrombie. I hope there's more to come!

Great grimdark fantasy

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Yes, it was entertaining. Average fantasy, but still worth the credit and time if you like GrimDark

Would you recommend The Grim Company to your friends? Why or why not?

Yes, but only if the person has read this type of genre before. It has lots of graphic violence, 'good' characters die, lots of swearing, all the while having no true hero. There's evil (demons), very bad people (the magelords), and the rest have questionable motives and integrity.

Which scene was your favorite?

The fight in the north that pits most of the Grim Company against something unexpected. Probably the only holy @#%$ moment in the book.

Did The Grim Company inspire you to do anything?

No, but I will be getting book 2. It's my hope that the story and writing gets more interesting.

Decent Grim Dark Fantasy, Excellent Narrator

pretty bland. I ended up skipping the PoV of the "main" character most of the time and it greatly improved the book.

tries to be Abercrombie but falls well short

I really enjoyed the story and can't wait to finish the rest of the stories.

it's a good story and well read.

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

It was not a waste of time.

If you’ve listened to books by Luke Scull before, how does this one compare?

No. I thought he did very well.

Which character – as performed by Gerard Doyle – was your favorite?

Brodar Kayne, Jerek, and Eremul.

Do you think The Grim Company needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?

Yes, Kayne has a new, and very important, focus. I am hoping the next book is 90% his story,

Any additional comments?

The premise follows the fantasy recipe. There are some unique aspects to the world. It would have been a better book for me if it would have centered around Kayne, Jerek, Emerul, and Cole. The rest of the characters were just not interesting. I would read any book that was focused solely on Kayne and Jerek with Emerul as a secondary character,

Not bad, not great.

The story was okay. The narrator was okay. I will probably forget all about this book in a few months, but it was fine for what it is.

Okay. Forgettable, but worth the time as a filler
