Sinossi
Mercenari ubriaconi, eroi pericolosamente schizofrenici, stregoni che gestiscono banche micidiali come eserciti, scalcinate compagnie di guerrieri, cortigiane e soldati. Spadaccini boriosi e donne che conquistano il potere col ferro e col veleno. Sangue, polvere, sudore. Il Nord gelido e nebbioso dei clan e le menzogne delle corti principesche del Sud. E oro, oro, e oro, più crudele dell'acciaio, più potente della magia nera. Questo è il mondo di Joe Abercrombie... Tornano i protagonisti dei romanzi della «Prima Legge», svelando nuovi dettagli su chi credevamo già di conoscere, dal deforme Inquisitore Glokta a Novedita il Sanguinario, dalla condottiera Murcatto all'irresistibile Nicomo Cosca, soldato di ventura e voltafaccia senza scrupoli. E poi compaiono anche nuovi personaggi e ambientazioni, come la strana coppia composta da Shev, ladra con un debole per le belle ragazze, e Javre, l'inarrestabile Leonessa di Hoskopp, braccate da nemici implacabili e da una irresistibile tendenza a cacciarsi nei luoghi peggiori del mondo.

4/5 Buddy read with my lovely friend; Petrik So my phone kinda deleted all the notes I had written down to write this review. Clearly the world hates me right now.

It sure was refreshing to be back in the World of the First Law. While I didn't give all of these stories a high star rating, I have missed Abercrombie's writing style. His stories are always filled with dark humor, bloody scenes, and great characterization. I laughed out loud or cringed countless t Leggi tutto

This is a book about Shev and Javre, plus nostalgic episodes from other stories in First Law Universe. I think this book is mainly for telling the hilarious stories of Shev and Javre, but because the length is not long enough for novel length book, then book added some chapters of previous First Law Leggi tutto
