Sinossi
L'Europa guarda nell'abisso. La peste e la carestia si diffondono sul territorio, i mostri si annidano in ogni ombra e gli avidi principi non si curano di nulla se non delle proprie ambizioni. Solo una cosa è certa: gli elfi torneranno, e divoreranno tutti. A volte, solo i sentieri più oscuri portano verso la luce. Sentieri che i giusti non osano percorrere... Ed è per questo che, nascosta sotto il sacro splendore del Palazzo Celeste, esiste la Cappella segreta della Sacra Convenienza: una sorta di corpo d'élite, composto da creature bandite, condannate e molto potenti, e incaricato di portare a termine le missioni più pericolose e segrete per conto di Benedetta I, la Papessa bambina. Ora al malcapitato Fratello Diaz toccherà guidare questo gruppo di misfits per mettere sul Trono di Troia la legittima erede (una scapestrata ladruncola) e unire la chiesa divisa contro l'apocalisse in arrivo.

It’s devilishly brilliant. ‘No matter how you fight, you can’t beat time. It lays low Leggi tutto
Could very well go down as my book of the year in 2025. The best start to any of his series to date, and I can't wait to read the next one!
Absolutely loved this. And so, I think, will every Abercrombie fan out there. His funniest book yet, but a ton of poignant stuff as well.
My review of The Devils is published at Before We Go Blog . Joe Abercrombie returns with The Devils , a dark epic fantasy featuring plenty of irreverent and often campy nods to classic horror. The novel takes place in an alternate medieval Europe threatened by an imminent elvish invasion. And the elves Leggi tutto
The Devils review on The Brothers Gwynne! I received an ARC of The Devils in return for an honest review. The Devils marks a new chapter for Joe Abercrombie, one of the most successful current fantasy authors. The First Law contains some of my favourite books of all-time, so of course I ha
You know that feeling when you slay a dragon? Cool. Then you know what it feels like to finish a Joe Abercrombie book and The Devils is NO exception. I’ll simply end this review for now stating what Joe is known for best. Morally. Grey. Characters. The characters in this book exude an enigmatic and my Leggi tutto
Abercrombie just can’t miss. Yet another fantastic cast of characters, some incredible action sequences, hysterics, and grim thematic exploration. This reminded me greatly of Best Served Cold in all the best ways. Just everything I love about Abercrombie’s writing wrapped into a single, tightly woun Leggi tutto
