Sinossi
Come giudice dell'imperatore, sir Konrad Vonvalt ha sempre l'ultima parola. Il suo dovere è quello di attuare la legge dell'Impero utilizzando qualsiasi strumento a sua disposizione: la lama, gli arcani segreti tramandati da un giudice all'altro o il patrimonio di conoscenze sulla legislazione imperiale. Ma solitamente basta la sua reputazione di giudice temuto e rispettato per portare a termine qualsiasi incarico. Solo che, durante le indagini sull'omicidio di una nobildonna, la sua autorità viene messa in discussione come mai prima. A mano a mano che il caso si complica, Vonvalt inizia a dipanare una cospirazione che ha lo scopo di sopprimere l'autorità dei giudici una volta per tutte affinché il caos e l'anarchia dilaghino nell'Impero. "La giustizia dei re" è il primo volume di una trilogia fantasy epica nella tradizione di Robin Hobb, Anthony Ryan, George R.R. Martin e Patrick Rothfuss, che segue la storia di Konrad Vonvalt, giudice dell'imperatore, detective ma anche giustiziere, tramite gli occhi attenti della sua cancelliera Helena.

A Gripping Tale of Justice and Intrigue. Tense with a capital T!! Final Rating: 4.8/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌕 Honestly, I hadn't heard of Richard Swan before diving into "The Justice of Kings." Mystery isn't usually my go-to, but after enough people nudged me toward this book, I gave in—and wow, I'm glad I did. To give Leggi tutto

Believe the hype. The Justice of Kings is an absolutely stellar debut from Richard Swan. The Justice of Kings reads like a grimdark version of Umberto Eco's classic, The Name of the Rose . The novel follows Sir Konrad Vonvalt, the most feared Justice of the Empire of the Wolf, as he investigates the m Leggi tutto
I couldn't stop turning the pages! I knew I had to pick up this book when I read the premise. My favourite parts of fantasy books are always the political manoeuvring, strategising, characters and themes. Although I enjoy an epic battle scene occasionally, I am more interested in the conflict behind Leggi tutto
Original review posted on my blog Out of This World SFF: https://outofthisworldrev.blogspot.co... It's always the books that I loved the most that are the most difficult to review. I know that's not unique to many reviewers, but this is indeed going to be challenging as I enjoyed this story on a level Leggi tutto
4.0 StarsThis is easily one of the strongest fantasy debut I have read in quite a while. Highly recommend! I really liked the prose, which were filled with detail while still remaining accessible to the reader. The choice to tell the story from the perspective of the clerk (rather than the Justice) w Leggi tutto
Full review here: https://youtu.be/TCsWHx3rfqw Holy crap, I loved this book. Thanks to Orbit for an ARC in exchange for an honest review, the entirety of which will be up soon. Pre-order this book immediately.
4.5 stars (rounded-up) He is judge, jury, and executioner. He is Sir Konrad Vonvalt, who strikes fear into the hearts of all with mysterious powers. I won’t lie, the premise had me hooked from the start. I had this on my TBR list from various blogs and even Goodreads lists as an anticipated fanta
