'Joe Abercrombie is doing some terrific work' George R. R. Martin, author of GAME OF THRONES.
They burned her home.
They stole her brother and sister.
But vengeance is following.
Shy South hoped to bury her bloody past and ride away smiling, but she'll have to sharpen up some bad old ways to get her family back, and she's not a woman to flinch from what needs doing. She sets off in pursuit with only a pair of oxen and her cowardly old stepfather Lamb for company. But it turns out Lamb's buried a bloody past of his own, and out in the lawless Far Country, the past never stays buried.
Their journey will take them across the barren plains to a frontier town gripped by gold fever, through feud, duel and massacre, high into the unmapped mountains to a reckoning with the Ghosts. Even worse, it will force them into alliance with Nicomo Cosca, infamous soldier of fortune, and his feckless lawyer Temple, two men no one should ever have to trust...
The past never stays buried...

Again an excellent book by Joe Abercrombie. A perfect choice for them who likes their stories a shade darker

One thing you can say about Joe’s books, that they are bloody good.

At denne boken har fått så mange gode anmeldelser er merkelig..Ja steven pacey er en flott innleser, men karakterene er kjedelige og historien er ikke til stedet.First law triologien en fantastisk, dette fungerer ikke.

Denne filmen har jeg sett før. Godt de husker å slenge inn litt sverd her og der så man vet man leser en fantasy-bok og ikke en western. Likte den første triologien meget godt, men dette… Dette er bare fyllstoff.
