Half a King by Joe Abercrombie
5.0
A very good YA-but-fine-for-adults fantasy.
The five stars are because it completely passes the "tell me a story I won't want to put down" test.
It's not memorably ground-breaking, not should it be for a YA audience. It need only be a good story with some twists and turns and interesting characters, and it does that very well.
I didn't see any typos, and Abercrombie style never got in the way. The plot rips along at a good pace, and the adult reader can go fairly quickly.
Gotta go, I'm off to look for #2 so I can see what happens next.
