I haven’t read A Song of Ice and Fire back then, fans of Game of Thrones weren’t so divisive in their opinion yet too, but suffice to say I was surprised that I got what I was looking for in this series, and more. “Once you've got a task to do, it's better to do it than live with the fear of it.”īack in October 2016, the only reason I stumbled upon this bloody marvelous trilogy was that, as many other readers did, I was looking for a reading experience that could offer me the kind of unpredictability and morally ambiguous characters that the Game of Thrones TV show did. The Blade Itself was my first entry into a grimdark fantasy novel that I highly enjoyed on this reread, I loved it even more. I have a Booktube channel now!

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 Logen, Jezal, and Glokta a whole lot more difficult. His latest trail of corpses may lead him right to the rotten heart of government, if he can stay alive long enough to follow it.Įnter the wizard, Bayaz. But then Glokta hates everyone: cutting treason out of the Union one confession at a time leaves little room for friendship. Inquisitor Glokta, cripple turned torturer, would like nothing better than to see Jezal come home in a box. But war is brewing, and on the battlefields of the frozen North they fight by altogether bloodier rules.
Nobleman Captain Jezal dan Luthar, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle. Caught in one feud too many, he’s on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian – leaving nothing behind him but bad songs, dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies. Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian, has finally run out of luck.
