Half the world - Joe Abercrombie - book review

Half a World - Joe Abercrombie

Set several years after the events of the first book (Half a King) this novel follows the life of 2 new characters as their life's become entangled with the characters of the previous book.

A great way to write the book as it gives a new point of view, opposed the re-hashing the thoughts of characters we have already met and seen the world through their eyes, but still it gives the reader an outside view of the characters that they enjoyed from the first book.

Set in a feudal world of small broken kingdoms, you see hints at the post apocalypse world returned to barbarianism with most ancient knowledge lost. I have been enjoying several books like this recently, Mark Lawernce's - Prince of thorns and Peter Bretts - Warded man. Fans of those will enjoy this book.

Joe is a masterful writer, full of gritty, larger than life character's that still feel like real people inspite of their big personalities.

If there is a 3rd book planned sign be up for the pre order now.
