The Grim Company

If you love grimdark, Scull is putting out some of the best stuff in the genre right now â equal in every way to Abercrombie. Scull's Grim Company series is currently my one of my favorite fantasy tales (book 2, The Sword of the North was in my top five picks for 2015) and the audiobook is a powerful thing on it's own, with the characters and narration honed sharper than a razor by the powerful narration of Gerard Doyle who becomes every bit the tortured characters he reprises in his narration.Doyles callus British accent and voice acting skills when voicing different characters especially complement the tone of the novel. Doyle does that thick cockney accent on some of the characters to perfection which helps flesh out the dark and gritty state of things in the war-torn world falling apart.If you are looking for a powerful grimdark tale that rings all those bells that Abercrombie, Lawrence, and Cook ring, then this books is not to be missed. Keep in mind the world -- and events -- are some of the darkest and most brutal you will likely read. This is not a series for the faint of heart. But man, it's a hell of a series so far, made so much more impacting in the audiobook version by the awesome narrative prowess of Gerard Doyle who will have you cringing as the cast of characters are brutalized by the world and each other.This is British cockney accent done so right, and so perfectly fitted for the context and characters of the novel.Listen to a sample of Gerad Doyle's voice
