Beschreibung
Logen Ninefingers might only have one more fight in him–but it's going to be a big one. Battle rages across the North, the king of the Northmen still stands firm, and there's only one man who can stop him. His oldest friend, and his oldest enemy: it's time for the Bloody-Nine to come home.
With too many masters and too little time, Superior Glokta is fighting a different kind of war. A secret struggle in which no one is safe, and no one can be trusted. As his days with a sword are far behind him, it's fortunate that he's deadly with his remaining weapons: blackmail, threats, and torture.
Jezal dan Luthar has decided that winning glory is too painful an undertaking and turned his back on soldiering for a simple life with the woman he loves. But love can be painful too–and glory has a nasty habit of creeping up on a man when he least expects it.
The king of the Union lies on his deathbed, the peasants revolt, and the nobles scramble to steal his crown. No one believes that the shadow of war is about to fall across the heart of the Union. Only the First of the Magi can save the world, but there are risks. There is no risk more terrible, than to break the First Law...

Here just some thought for the whole series: I finally came around to read the whole First Law Trilogy and as so many others I really enjoyed it. In comparison the first book was really slow and was more of a set up for what followed, so if you didn't enjoy the start just push through to the next one. Brilliant grim dark fantasy, with unusual protagonists, that make these books really stick out. I loved the ending of book two and had to laugh when Abercrombie made a mockery of a very common fantasy archetype. Book three felt compared to the other two a bit cramped and too fast, but nevertheless a great ending, after which I'm very eager to read the additional books in this universe.
Fantastischer Abschluss einer insgesamt grandiosen und spannenden Fantasy-Reihe. Die Charakte, insbesondere Glokta dan Sand, sind wahrlich interessant geschrieben und ich habe nahezu jede Seite förmlich verschlungen. Hat mir wieder meine Liebe zum Fantasy-Genre gezeigt und mir ein paar köstliche Lesestunden bereitet.
