Joe Abercrombie's Best Served Cold is a bloody and relentless epic
of vengeance and obsession in the grand tradition, a kind of
splatterpunk sword 'n sorcery Count of Monte Cristo, Dumas by way
of Moorcock . . . The battles are vivid and visceral, the action
brutal, the pace headlong, and Abercrombie piles the betrayals,
reversals, and plot twists one atop another to keep us guessing how
it will all come out. This is his best book yet
*George R.R. Martin*
Overall this is an immediately rewarding experience. There are
reveals in the final third that are unexpected yet satisfyingly
logical . . . Best Served Cold? Modern fantasy doesn't get much
better than this
