The books do a really good job of describing the in debt strategy of the sword fights. 4.5/5 stars would recommend. Not too dark despite the summary. Some good humor as well. Magic does exist in the universe but isn't overly featured. Guns also exist
quote:
Falcio is the first Cantor of the Greatcoats. Trained in the fighting arts and the laws of Tristia, the Greatcoats are travelling Magisters upholding King’s Law. They are heroes. Or at least they were, until they stood aside while the Dukes took the kingdom, and impaled their King’s head on a spike.
Now Tristia is on the verge of collapse and the barbarians are sniffing at the borders. The Dukes bring chaos to the land, while the Greatcoats are scattered far and wide, reviled as traitors, their legendary coats in tatters. All they have left are the promises they made to King Paelis, to carry out one final mission.

Its a good series, but I started to get pretty worn out on it by the last book.
I am liking Spellslinger though.

I think as the scope of the story got bigger, it hurt my enjoyment a bit but still loved it overall.
I won't say anything else in here to avoid spoilers - taking it to the sci-fi / fantasy thread.

I didn't finish the last book. I know I'm in the minority on this one. I liked it a lot, and then I just kind of got worn out.
