About this listen
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.

Very good, maybe slightly too long
This is one of those books you really need to take a couple of days break every 10 hours or so. Joe Abercrombie is a great writer and this story was very well done. I felt like it was a bit drawn out though so it’s not quite a 5/5.
Otherwise, great characters, great motivations and really interesting storyline.

A brutal and hilarious feast
Pacey's narration is impeccable as always and abercrombie delivers another highly entertaining, brutal and hilarious story with loveable but demented characters both new and old. If you are considering a new author or audiobook you need not go further than a collaboration between Stephen Pacey and Joe Abercrombie

Wonderful book and brilliant performance
Another great book and another great performance by Steven Pacey. Some of his best voice work in Cosca and friendly. I didn't like it as much as the first trilogy but it's still an entertaining listen

Joe impresses again.
Another brilliant book by Joe, read so well by Steven. Haven't read another author who is able to evoke so many different emotions, and Steven's ability with his accents, tone, and emotion is absolutely remarkable.

Favorite one sofar
Has to be one of my favorites books now. Joe Abercrombie spins a good story. This is the 4th I have read following the sword itself series and I loved it. I was worried I wouldn't get along with the characters and that a story of revenge would be boring but I was pleasantly surprised the entire way.
