The Black Company was an early book that falls into the low fantasy genre The narrator is a physician and chronicler for a mercenary company The Company is mundane in a war of demigods They survive only by their wits, playing one dark lord against another, and by brotherhood
Do you dislike stories with combat? This book is not for you Every chapter is a battle, large or small Or downtime between battles where the boys play cards, prank each other, and run various entertaining schemes at the expense of their enemies
The most striking part I think is the way that the Company's hierarchy is depicted Cook just /gets/ the way men see and interact with each other in a male homosocial space The dialogue, the hierarchical tensions, the masculine care and respect are all spot on
Femininity intrudes occasionally, from a masculine perspective: women are loved desperately, hated deeply, protected ferociously, or feared viscerally Or, as they operate in a masculine mode, accorded respected as men are (eg, the general Whisper)
If you're a guy you should read this because it's fucking fun
If you're a woman, consider it as an ethnographic exercise (and also extremely fun)
That's all enjoy your day 
90% of old school fantasy novels are about male friendship. Which is what makes them awesome. Like Entourage but with dragons and mages.
