This book is really fun, and would have got 4*, but

I am of the personal opinion that authors who kill off the lovable cheeky urchin for an emotional reaction   deserve to suffer

and so points were deducted. Other than that a great romp through a well built world with complex lore, lovable characters and witty dialogue.

zerto's review against another edition

It was a bit too violent and vulgar for me. The flashback chapters were annoying and confusing. I don’t mind morally gray characters, but I couldn’t sympathize with any of the characters.

Incredibly fun, it doesn’t end. It’s sad. He’s seven, he’s 25, he almost dies like four times, he dies once. THERE ARE SPIDERS THE SIZE OF DOGS. THEY SWORDFIGHT SHARKS. AND WIN
