This was a double first for me. My first Joe Abercrombie book and the first in the Shattered Sea Trilogy. I don't read much fantasy but I must say I really enjoyed this book. It is the story of Prince Yarvi who has Kingdom thrust upon him; and because he has a withered hand considers himself half a King. He swears an oath and that is where his troubles and adventures begin. I look forward to reading books 2 and 3. Recommended !

3.5. I think this was a good start to the series! Although they kept calling the king half a king because he was missing a hand and idk if you watched the challenge. Jordan is missing half a hand and he’s still one of the best competitors I’ve ever seen, so I don’t see how it’s much of an issue after watching him.
Interesting premise, world building and character though.
