Joe Abercrombie is a master of his trade, and his trade is dark fantasy. He is becoming the standard bearer for gritty realistic fantasy, and Best Served Cold might well be the masterpiece that represents that sub-genre. Monza Murcatto is a renowned and very successful mercenary, or was…till she was stabbed, beaten and thrown from a mountain side by her employer. Best Served Cold tells the tale of Monza and her quest for revenge. Monza contracts a party of unsavory characters to aid her in her revenge quest. The story goes from dark to black to “a wet match in the bottom of a dark cave”. Everyone suffers, lots of people die, the trail of blood and tragedy that Monza leaves in her wake is unprecedented. Abercrombie takes what appears to be a simple tale of revenge and twists it into a sanguine journey of self discovery on the part of each character. No other author I’ve found works so hard to create likeable characters out of such nasty individuals The book is exceedingly well written, so much so that I have really no other option but to give this book 5 stars. It really is an amazing work. Reading his work is always bitter sweet for me. I know I’m going to get an amazing story, with unique characters told in a way that only Abercrombie is able to pull off. All the wonderful writing comes with a price for the reader. The price is that it changes you a little, it’s altered my perception of what fantasy can be. Before reading Abercrombie I was blissfully unaware of how truly brutal and tragic fantasy as a medium can be. Sure there is George R.R. Martin and his love of killing off main characters, but these books are different. In Martin’s work I never had any doubt that I was observing the story from the outside. With Abercrombie he makes it a point to bring you there. I feel the character’s spirit break in the hands of the torturer. I know the person that was on page 112 is now someone else on page 113, and it makes me sad. There is no redemption, no “making it up” later…they’ve simply changed. It’s a very real and unsettling thing to experience as a reader, and it’s a feeling that’s not commonly found in fantasy. The heart of Best Served Cold is how Abercrombie strips our “heroes” down to their core and reveals with in them who they truly are. I have a love hate relationship with Abercrombie’s books. I will most certainly continue to read them, they are just too incredible not to. I will be sure to keep something exceedingly happy to read right afterwards. Best Served Cold is technically a stand alone novel, but I would highly recommend reading The First Law Trilogy prior to this since I get the feeling of an overall “Big Picture” taking place in this world. Read this book if you are ready to have your thoughts on fantasy challenged. Do not read this book if you like your fantasy to be a pleasant escape from the harsh realities of life. -JB

Cuộc Chiến Lỗ Đen (Tái Bản 2016) Thư viện Sách hướng dẫn

Sách được viết bởi Bởi: Leonard Susskind

Overall it is good. Very angsty and with raw emotions.It deals with recovering emotionally from traumatic events. And it is dealt realistically, not perfectly but very good. Writing at the moment feels not completely smooth. Sentence structure too often like 'He did that'. Characters feel developed. Things out of place, plot holes etc: The guy got fired from 5 jobs because of his fear of big men. And decides that the best would be to go on a ranch with a bunch of men. Also meeting the huge ranch owner doesn't seem to affect him much. How he got fired if he always reacts this way is beyond me. You can actually be surprised you didn't get hit because of a broken glass? At the moment Kaden feels like a young teen, kid. And Logan too fatherly. Hope it changes. Since this book deals with (view spoiler) I am uncomfortable with how Kaden is always referred as boy, teenager, kid. Seems wrong. Also the reactions seems strange about a guy getting sexually harassed. Feels a little like he were a girl. Or this is a very very open society. And nobody cares a girl, a boy... This is really a strange place. (view spoiler) Just for realism sake. You do not stay in the hospital for 4 months just to have physical therapy. There a rehabilitation facilities or you get appointments or work at home on it. You also don't wait to start physical therapy. Maybe 2 days or so. You don't need to wait to heal before starting to work on it.It is very bad to wait. If we ignore the above it is ok. Emotions feel very raw and detail, developed. Writing style seems a little off at times.
