bookshelves: fantasy, on-hold

I've read the first two books in Serbian, but the translation was discontinued over a decade ago.
Looking forward to reading it again, this time in English.

First book - The Black Company
Read Nov 19 - Dec 31 2024
I can't for the life of me figure out why the only thing I remembered about this book since I first read it some 20 or so years ago was that "it was fun". Sure, it has some fun parts (Goblin and One-Eye's antics for one), but it's also a very dark story, and it's what made the biggest impression on me now.

TBH I haven't read it since high school so I don't remember pretty much anything, only that I enjoyed it *blushes*

Thanks Rosa! 🥰
I heard some spoilers from a friend recently, so I'm sure I'll have a lot to say about the plot when I read the rest 😅
