At empire's end war is not all hell. Mocker finds old friends in the halls of death, and Nepanthe, new lovers in the fields of blood and bone. The war-child wields the sword of truth: the Star Rider's dread secret is at last revealed. And so it ends. Though "end" is but a wizard-word for new beginnings.

Cheery. Lives up to title.

Rich characters, perspectives of anti-heroes and of villains rendered oddly sympathetically, and a plot spanning millennia bring this grim, witty, tragic, honest saga to its end. Huge battles receive less personal detail and personal struggles and costs get more than in any series I can think of with a set of premises like this one.

Another amazing book by Cook

While I understand it is some of the earlier works of Cook in relation to the Black Company which I discover first, I love this series. It teases the world in a way that allows the reader to ponder and gives enough to have a good understanding of the world and the consequences of events.
