It's a fun resource. I don't necessarily agree with all their stated conclusions, but at least they lay out their arguments. Comments section can be a fun read as well. https://blackcompany.fandom.com/wiki/Black_Company_Wiki

Cranky review (SPOILERS)
by Matt Cutter 13 Aug '21

13 Aug '21

Disclaimer: Shortened the name to avoid trouble for anybody behind profanity filters. Review: Well, that went fast. It's a short read. But I enjoyed it. Voice seemed more like the old Croaker voice from the original trilogy. Though Cook's prose is more polished, it doesn't change that old voice. I missed young, optimistic Croaker. It's self-contained enough to enjoy on its own, but has enough callbacks to engage us long-time fans. Spoilers: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . (Characters included to prevent whitespace from being collapsed.) . . . . . . . . I'm pretty sure I agree with the theory that the twins here are the twins from Port of Shadows and that the mysterious one-armed Taken is Twice Dead. Too bad the Lady gobbled him up; he had potential.

This fits my head view of the hills just outside One-Eye's jungle in Shadow Games. https://www.bing.com/images/search?q=Bohol%2c+Philippines+Chocolate+Hills&u…
