Über diesen Titel

 Springtime in Styria. And that means war.

There have been nineteen years of blood. The ruthless Grand Duke Orso is locked in a vicious struggle with the squabbling League of Eight, and between them they have bled the land white. While armies march, heads roll and cities burn, behind the scenes bankers, priests and older, darker powers play a deadly game to choose who will be king.

War may be hell but for Monza Murcatto, the Snake of Talins, the most feared and famous mercenary in Duke Orso's employ, it's a damn good way of making money too. Her victories have made her popular - a shade too popular for her employer's taste. Betrayed, thrown down a mountain and left for dead, Murcatto's reward is a broken body and a burning hunger for vengeance. Whatever the cost, seven men must die.

Her allies include Styria's least reliable drunkard, Styria's most treacherous poisoner, a mass-murderer obsessed with numbers and a Northman who just wants to do the right thing. Her enemies number the better half of the nation. And that's all before the most dangerous man in the world is dispatched to hunt her down and finish the job Duke Orso started...

Kritikerstimmen

Highly recommended - a funny, finely-wrought, terrifically energetic work of high fantasy. Seek it out (Joe Hill)
Joe Abercrombie's Best Served Cold is a bloody and relentless epic of vengeance and obsession in the grand tradition, a kind of splatterpunk sword 'n sorcery Count of Monte Cristo, Dumas by way of Moorcock . . . The battles are vivid and visceral, the action brutal, the pace headlong, and Abercrombie piles the betrayals, reversals, and plot twists one atop another to keep us guessing how it will all come out. This is his best book yet
Overall this is an immediately rewarding experience. There are reveals in the final third that are unexpected yet satisfyingly logical . . . Best Served Cold? Modern fantasy doesn't get much better than this

Intesting stay with a lot of twists and surprises. But be warned it is brutal and without mercy. A book for grown people. I like it a lot if good people are not jut and always good. Oh what a good reading in this case.
And by the way it is read in a very good manner. I love it

Not for the fainted heart

Perfect Characters, flawed but consistent humans in a world that doesn't care,
Perfect Worldbuilding and a perfect arc.
The overall war of the wizards and their sideshow machinations as beautifully incorporated as the characters arcs all going full circle.
The way the story twists your perception bit by terrible bit... And the meta position at the end... Do you think you deserve better?
Damn I love abercrombie.
And 4 books into my third run of all hsibworks, this is still my favorite book.
Shivers my second most favorite character arc just after thorn bathu.
Also he is as of now, the only one in all of his books.
Th am you Joe for writing like that
Thank you mister pacey for being such a great narrator.

Wie hat Ihnen Steven Pacey als Sprecher gefallen? Warum?

Steven Pacey is the most amazing narrator I have ever had the great pleasure listening to. He effortlessly gives unique voices to dozens of characters, finds the perfect pitch for every mood in the book and adds immense additional quality to any book he narrates. I am indebted to him for countless hours of great entertainment!

Simply glorious

Der Autor versteht es eine realistische, düstere Atmosphäre aufzubauen in der sich seine Charaktere schlüssig und gut gezeichnet bewegen. Auch wenn die Storyline um die Thematik "Rache" nun nicht gerade das Rad neu erfindet, so macht sie dennoch Spaß.

His best so far

Gritty and we'll written revenge story. with many twists and turns - some predictable some not so much. Maybe it mirrors life in this way. Looking forward to hearing the other entries!

A little repetitive but a great book nonetheless
