Fantasy & SciFi
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. A bald old man with a terrible temper and a pathetic assistant, he could be the First of the Magi, he could be a spectacular fraud, but whatever he is, he's about to make the lives of Glotka, Jezal and Logen a whole lot more difficult . . .

Jeg syns du bør lese denne bokserien om du liker mørk fantasy ala "A song of Ice and fire". Her har du bunnsolid episk eventyr. Perspektiv-karakterene er vanvittig godt realiserte og menneskelige. Man ender opp med å heie på karakterer som ville vært skurker i en mer ordinær fortelling. Innleser Steven Pacey er i verdensklasse og helt uten sidestykke. Det er bøkene også. Les også de tre frittstående bøkene i samme univers om du liker disse. De er minst like gode

Likte karakterene. Men lurer på hvem skurken er og hva boken egentlig dreier seg om - i det store og det hele.
