A review by ynanutshell
Half a King by Joe Abercrombie

5.0

This book had me on the edge of my seat from start to finish. It had me torn between throwing it across the room and bursting out in deranged laughter (I still don't know why). I found myself vividly imagining Joe Abercrombie's wonderfully crafted characters in my mind's eye, as if they were flesh and blood.

Now, I'm going to be honest here. I have a terrible habit of skimming through details and going straight to the action and dialogue. But, for some reason, I was hooked onto each and every word on all three-hundred-something pages of this book. Props to Joe Abercrombie for that!

I'd love to say more, but I'm too busy reading the next instalment to the Shattered Sea... most likely in one sitting.
