Über diesen Titel

 'As brilliant as its predecessor' SF REVU

Bitter and merciless war is coming to the frozen north. It's bloody and dangerous and the Union army, split by politics and hamstrung by incompetence, is utterly unprepared for the slaughter that's coming. Lacking experience, training, and in some cases even weapons the army is scarcely equipped to repel Bethod's scouts, let alone the cream of his forces.

In the heat-ravaged south the Gurkish are massing to assault the city of Dagoska, defended by Inquisitor Glokta. The city is braced for the inevitable defeat and massacre to come, preparations are made to make the Gurkish pay for every inch of land ... but a plot is festering to hand the city to its beseigers without a fight, and the previous Inquisitor of Dagoska vanished without trace. Threatened from within and without the city, Glokta needs answers, and he needs them soon.

And to the east a small band of malefactors travel to the edge of the world to reclaim a device from history - a Seed, hidden for generations - with tremendous destructive potential. A device which could put a end to war, to the army of Eaters in the South, to the invasion of Shanka from the North - but only if it can be found, and only if its power can be controlled ...©2007 Joe Abercrombie Epic Fantasy Fantasy

Kritikerstimmen

Highly recommended - a funny, finely-wrought, terrifically energetic work of high fantasy. Seek it out (Joe Hill)
Before They Are Hanged is an excellent sequel from an author writing compelling, character-driven, adult fantasy, for readers who want to be entertained as well as challenged
In my opinion, Joe Abercrombie possesses all the qualities that made David Eddings such a powerhouse during the 80s and 90s. Before They Are Hanged is a satisfying sequel which should establish Joe Abercrombie as one of the bright new voices of the genre.
Before They Are Hanged grabs you and drags you along.
Dark, deeply ironic and full of character gems that will appeal to your cynical side, Before They Are Hanged is as brilliant as its predecessor.
We're right there in the heads of these dudes, thanks to the author's style of showcasing their thoughts. His knowing turn of phrase means that situations often appear ironic, with peripheral characters verging on the Dickensian. This follow-up is crammed with unexpected betrayals, murders and liaisons, often catching us off guard.
"Put together a terrific cast of characters ... add in magic, war, plots within plots and you have a positive feast for the ears." 20 August 2010 (Kati Nicholl)

Der Sprecher ist genial, er baut mit seiner Erzählweise Stimmung auf. Die Story ist auch gelungen

Gute Story, Ende etwas antiklimaktisch

The book continues the story that finally picked up in the end of the first book, and it keeps going at that high level. The world building is a bit vague, but that doesn't matter as much because where the meat is, is in the characters, everyone of them unique, and all of the protagonists deeply flawed people. The characters are also made alive by great narration so you are never in doubt which character is speaking.

I only take a point off for the lack of proper world building, since that is a favorite part of mine in fantasy.

Great story, excelent narration

absolute top

The Series is one of the best I have ever read, I like it even more than A Song of Ice and Fire and that is quite the Accomplishment. The Narrator gives every Character a unique voice, so the Dialogues can be easily followed.
For a middle Book in a Fantasy Trilogy this is as good as it gets, after all you have to be realistic.

Exceptionally good.
