"Fantastic!"
5 stars"

brilliant books, I loved all the characters and their feats and flaws, buy this book, its great, I found out about on a list called books to read while you're waiting for the next ice and fire book (game of thrones) and in my opinion its better! buy this trilogy if you're a fan of fantasy or are wanting to get into it. oh and when you finish the trilogy there's still 3 stand alones set after it, Best Served cold, The Heroes and Red Country

"Excellent Dark Fantasy!!!!"
5 stars"
Purchased on Mighty Ape

IF you like your good and evil in shades of grey and are sick of the normal fantasy heroes that are good no matter what this is the book for you. It is good to read a book where the charcters are are not evil becuase of what they do or how but by there reasons for those actions. No evil lord hear just normal flawed Humans. A great read for all lovers of Modern Dark Fantasy.

Description

Inquisitor Glokta, a crippled and increasingly bitter relic of the last war, former fencing champion turned torturer extraordinaire, is trapped in a twisted and broken body - not that he allows it to distract him from his daily routine of torturing smugglers. Nobleman, dashing officer and would-be fencing champion Captain Jezal dan Luthar is living a life of ease by cheating his friends at cards. Vain, shallow, selfish and self-obsessed, the biggest blot on his horizon is having to get out of bed in the morning to train with obsessive and boring old men. And Logen Ninefingers, an infamous warrior with a bloody past, is about to wake up in a hole in the snow with plans to settle a blood feud with Bethod, the new King of the Northmen, once and for all - ideally by running away from it. But as he's discovering, old habits die really, really hard indeed...especially when Bayaz gets involved.
