The Blade Itself
Joe Abercrombie, 2006
A journey into a world of morally bankrupt heroes, brutal warfare, and the cynical observations of men who have seen too much.
Joe Abercrombie
Abercrombie's prose is often characterized by its unique blend of brutal violence and unexpected wit, a style he has cultivated throughout his career.
Feels like dread, defiance and war.
A piece of violence that doesn't hurt, but reveals everything about the secret language of power.
Something dug into the Bloody-Nine’s back, but there was no pain. It was a sign. A message in a secret tongue, that only he could understand. It told him where the next dead man was standing. Books by Joe Abercrombie
