It was bloody. It was nasty. It was full of twists and turns. It was another great book by Abercrombie. Only this one is for teens. Hold on to your hats youngens, it's going to be a bumpy ride. ( )

I enjoyed this book. Looking forward to reading the next one. ( )

A consistently excellent author delivers another tale of betrayal and vengeance, set in a quasi-medieval low fantasy settings. Our plucky disabled hero overcomes slavery and adversity with brains, ruthlessness and luck, taking his revenge on the dastardly villains of the piece. There's even a (well telegraphed) twist ending. What's not to love? A fun, solid story in a well-realised setting. Recommended. ( )

good but not great. strong characters with entertaining dialogue, but the story is largely boilerplate. i'll keep on with Book 2, though, see if it acquires more depth. ( )

Es el que más me gustó de la saga, pero creo que n es mi tipo de libros. ( )
