A fragile peace gives way to conspiracy, betrayal, and rebellion in this sequel to the New York Times bestselling A Little Hatred from epic fantasy master Joe Abercrombie."A master of his craft." —Forbes "No one writes with the seismic scope or primal intensity of Joe Abercrombie." —Pierce Brown Peace is just another kind of battlefield . . . Savine dan Glokta, once Adua's most powerful investor, finds her judgement, fortune and reputation in tatters. But she still has all her ambitions, and no scruple will be permitted to stand in her way. For heroes like Leo dan Brock and Stour Nightfall, only happy with swords drawn, peace is an ordeal to end as soon as possible. But grievances must be nursed, power seized, and allies gathered first, while Rikke must master the power of the Long Eye . . . before it kills her. Unrest worms into every layer of society. The Breakers still lurk in the shadows, plotting to free the common man from his shackles, while noblemen bicker for their own advantage. Orso struggles to find a safe path through the maze of knives that is politics, only for his enemies, and his debts, to multiply. The old ways are swept aside, and the old leaders with them, but those who would seize the reins of power will find no alliance, no friendship, and no peace lasts forever.

"One of my most anticipated books of the year, I was counting the days till it was here, and it did not disappoint. <br/><br/>I did re-read LH ahead of time, and I'm glad I did as there is no way I would have remembered Broad or Orso's stories. My favourite character evolutions by far were Orso, and surprisingly Clover, who I couldn't stand in the first book. <br/><br/>To get in the "Abercrombie mindset" I did re-read Best served cold, and I think of all the books this proved most useful in finding the clues. Who Jappo's dad is? Shiver's ring? Even a reference to a dice dealer in Carotti's house of leisure, all of these I took more joy in, with the clever tie ins with the rest of the book.<br/><br/>I never tire of reading about Gorst and Shivers in these books as well, to see these steadfast "oldies" still strong, like old friends.<br/><br/>Only thing I hate is having to wait a whole year for the next one. Leo's downfall though, well worth it."

"Literal CRACK."

"⭐⭐⭐ Great book as usual, although I was a little annoyed with battle scenes. That is just me, the story is a good as Joe Abercrombie writes. Looking forward to the third book. "
