A review by qjbrown96
Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie

5.0

Every single character in this book is an awful person and deserves death, so how is it that Joe can have me rooting for people I’d otherwise want nothing to do with in real life?!

Joe has most definitely supplanted himself as an S-Tier author for me and I’ll read anything he puts out. This book took me a good 200 pages to actually start enjoying it and then it just continuously got better and better. The constant back stabbing whether it was political or between mercenaries or “friends” made it impossible to know what was coming next.

The story follows the most famous mercenary Monza. She was betrayed by her employer, thrown off a mountain and left for dead. She somehow survives and will have her vengeance and woe be the person who stands in her path.
