Description

International bestselling author Mark Lawrence continues the bold new world of dark fantasy he created in the Broken Empire trilogy with the first book of the Red Queen's War...

For all her reign the Red Queen has fought the long war, contested in secret, against the powers that stand behind nations, for higher stakes than land or gold. Her greatest weapon is The Silent Sister—unseen by most and unspoken of by all.

The Red Queen’s grandson, Prince Jalan Kendeth—drinker, gambler, seducer of women—is one who can see The Silent Sister. Content with his role as a minor royal, Jal pretends that the hideous crone is not there. But war with the undead is coming, and the Red Queen has called on her family to defend the realm. Jal thinks that nothing that will affect him. He's wrong...

After escaping a death trap set by the Silent Sister, Jal finds his fate magically intertwined with a fierce Norse warrior. As the two undertake a journey to undo the spell, encountering grave dangers, willing women, and an upstart prince named Jorg Ancrath along the way, Jalan gradually catches a glimmer of the truth: he and the Norseman are but pieces in a game—and the Red Queen controls the board.

Ich liebe Mark Lawrence einfach für seine Figuren und diesen unterschwelligen Humor in seinem Schreibstil. Ich hab Jalan zwar gehasst — aber das sollte genau so. Und ich freue mich, ihn in den beiden Folgebänden weiter zu hassen 🤣. Noch ein paar Worte zu dem Hörbuchsprecher: einen besseren hätte man nicht anheuern können. Selbst auf doppelter Hörgeschwindigkeit kam sein ganzes Können zum tragen. So viel Stimmtalent, so viele unterschiedliche Charakterzüge in einer Person. Wow.

An immensely pleasing read. No review needed, I'd buy anything "Mark Lawrence" blind-folded. Off to the next book in the series ♥
