About this listen

Springtime in Styria. And that means war. There have been nineteen years of blood. The ruthless Grand Duke Orso is locked in a vicious struggle with the squabbling League of Eight, and between them they have bled the land white.

While armies march, heads roll and cities burn, behind the scenes bankers, priests and older, darker powers play a deadly game to choose who will be king. War may be hell but for Monza Murcatto, the Snake of Talins, the most feared and famous mercenary in Duke Orso's employ, it's a damn good way of making money too. Her victories have made her popular - a shade too popular for her employer's taste.

Betrayed, thrown down a mountain and left for dead, Murcatto's reward is a broken body and a burning hunger for vengeance. Whatever the cost, seven men must die.

Continuation from "Last argument of kings" with a little side step. At firs I was little lost what to read after "Last argument..." but after little Googling figured out this was the way to go.

Its a side step from the first law trilogy. But it deepens the lore and bring new characters to it.
Absolutely recommend.

Just wonderful. Though I have to read my Abercombies with some time between them for how depressing they can be, this is just superbly written with lovely character. The plot does get a little overly complicated at times, but that's the genre for you.

Outstanding

Joe Abercrombie is becoming one of my favourite fantasy authors. His depth of character and world creation are enthralling! I thought Glokter was my favourite bad-ass, but I now think I might really like Monza Murcatto more! Nice to see some of the familiar others appearing here too ... Cosca is always a favourite, and Im intrigued by Shylo Vitari too. And what is Shenk - there is a mystery I need to read on to solve!? A carpenter/cannibal/shape-shifter/time controller aka the matrix - awesome!

Steven Pacey narrates this story perfectly and he captures the accents of the North, Styria and all the different characters brilliantly. Love his rendition of Friendly ... gotta love Friendly.

Great Story, Even Better Narration and Performance ... 4.5 stars for me.

JA characters are perfectly portrayed by Steven P!

Another great book by Joe Abercrombie. Steven Pacey has made it hard for me to enjoy similar books in this genre by other narrators. He isn't just narrating, he is acting out these characters with a wide range of emotions and regional dialects and accents. He is absolutely amazing. It was interesting to get some of the minor characters from the First Law trilogy becoming some of the major characters in this story...a great story of revenge with some exciting capers.

Steven Pacey is now my favourite narrator

The trilogy was amazing! This...this is something more! Abercrombie has surpassed himself again. He is a master of the art-form!

Masterpiece

Any additional comments?

Joe Abercrombie delivered again. I really enjoyed this book. The twist at the end left me quite surprised. Great characters, great narration. Well worth your time.

Another Winner

Story seems to wander wordy a little too much. I prefer the entwined story lines of the First Law Series that got me hooked on Joe’s writing in the first place.
