ToxicFrog posted:Personally, I liked all the Black Company books and thought that it absolutely stuck the landing, but a lot of people seem to dislike the later books, and I think it probably is true that if you start disliking them you probably won't start liking them again before the end. Personally, I thought the series had a couple of clunkers in the middle (any book narrated by Murgen) but finished pretty strong. I don't know how common that opinion is, but you might start liking some of the later books even after you get to one you dislike. I did.

Vincent Van Goatse posted:Finished reading Roger Zelazny's Creatures of Light and Darkness today and overall I found it a very satisfying experience even with the style experimentation and the complete shift to stage direction in the last chapter. Any recommendations on which of his books I should try next? Zelazny's short stories were always the most satisfying, IMO. Frost and Fire is probably the best collection, but they're all great and you can't really go wrong. The novels are a bit more uneven, but Lord of Light, Isle of the Dead and A Night in Lonesome October are fantastic and several other are at least pretty good.

Damnation Alley by Roger Zelazney is the canonical "driving through weird post-apocalyptic America" book.
