I have the next few books in that series but haven't started them yet. I took a turn into Robin Hobb's Farseer Trilogy. I am just finishing up the second book and the trilogy is frickin' amazing so far.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Black Company but it definitely does take some getting used to. It's different than a lot of typical fantasy series.
