Complex universe creation ( ) La Compañía se vuelve a enfrentar a la batalla, la miseria y la traición en una guerra entre fuerzas mucho más poderosas. La historia nos llega una vez más de la mano de Murgen, analista y portaestandarte de la Compañía Negra, cuyos crecientes poderes para viajar en el tiempo y el espacio le aportan una perspectiva inigualable. Capitaneada por el astuto comandante Matasanos y la Dama, la Compañía trabaja para el Gobierno de Taglios; pero ni la Compañía confía demasiado en los taglianos ni viceversa. Frente a ambos se encuentra una alianza igual de inestable de hechiceros, entre los que se encuentra la diabólica Atrapaalmas, el psicótico Aullador y una niña de cuatro años que podría ser la más poderosa de todos. Como sus antecesores, ‘Ella es la oscuridad’ fusiona la magia de Tolkien, Jordan y Moorcock con el realismo de la aventura militar moderna, para contar una historia de brujería, guerra y heroísmo. A terrific read, and one of the stronger books in an already strong series. It takes full advantage of having had the table set in the previous two volumes, and the pace is brisk and exciting as a result, even by the Black Company's already fairly high standards in that regard. My main gripe is that the book continues past its natural conclusion. It's all about the siege of Overlook and the fight against Langshadow, until that plot is (satisfactorily) resolved, and then, the book just continues, with a big chunk of pages yet to go. What follows is really all just set up for the next book, I imagine, and it continues on until a huge, exciting cliffhanger can be set up for the next installment. It's not that the novel is weak in this section, it's just that it feels a bit tacked on after what seemed the novel's natural conclusion. Though there are spoiler reasons why it probably had to be like that, I imagine. And otherwise, this was great. I even mostly enjoyed the dream sequences, and that never happens. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

The wind whines and howls with bitter breath. Lightning snarls and barks. Rage is an animate force upon the plain of glittering stone. Even shadows are afraid. At the heart of the plain stands a vast grey stronghold, unknown, older than any written memory. One ancient tower has collapsed across the fissure. From the heart of the fastness comes a great deep slow breath like that of a slumbering world-heart, cracking the olden silence. Death is eternity. Eternity is stone. Stone is silence. Stone cannot speak but stone remembers. So begins the next movement of Glittering Stone.... The tale again comes to us from the pen of Murgen, Annalist and Standard Bearer of the Black Company, whose developing powers of travel through space and time give him a perspective like no other. Led by the wily commander, Croaker, and the Lady, the Company is working for the Taglian government, but neither the Company nor the Taglians are overflowing with trust for each other. Arrayed against both is a similarly tenuous alliance of sorcerers, including the diabolical Soulcatcher, the psychotic Howler, and a four-year-old child who may be the most powerful of all.
