Beskrivning
'Delightfully twisted and evil' GUARDIAN'Highly recommended ... seek it out' Joe HillInquisitor Glokta, a crippled and increasingly bitter relic of the last war, former fencing champion turned torturer extraordinaire, is trapped in a twisted and broken body - not that he allows it to distract him from his daily routine of torturing smugglers.Nobleman, dashing officer and would-be fencing champion Captain Jezal dan Luthar is living a life of ease by cheating his friends at cards. Vain, shallow, selfish and self-obsessed, the biggest blot on his horizon is having to get out of bed in the morning to train with obsessive and boring old men. And Logen Ninefingers, an infamous warrior with a bloody past, is about to wake up in a hole in the snow with plans to settle a blood feud with Bethod, the new King of the Northmen, once and for all - ideally by running away from it. But as he's discovering, old habits die really, really hard indeed......especially when Bayaz gets involved. A bald old man with a terrible temper and a pathetic assistant, he could be the First of the Magi, he could be a spectacular fraud, but whatever he is, he's about to make the lives of Glotka, Jezal and Logen a whole lot more difficult...

Betyg & recensioner

8 recensioner, genomsnitt 3.9/5

  1. 3/5 Helena

    "The Blade Iitself" en ganska bra underhållning, snäppet bättre än betyg 3. Man behöver dock ha tålamodet att ta sig igenom de första 50 sidorna, som är ytterligt sega. Därefter rätar besättelsen upp sig och blir mer intressant. Kan så vara att det är kraftiga stereotyper i historien, men det finns karaktärer som är festligare än andra, till exempel inkvisitören Glokta samt gänget med barbarer som Black Dow med flera. Överlag är boken trevlig fantasyunderhållning. Ser fram emot nästa bok!
