It is not without reason that Joe Abercrombie is called Lord Grimdark, because he has really earned this title. The previous First Law series from this world was able to inspire me a few years ago and is still one of my favourite series. And while new powers wreak havoc, old magic also rears its head once more when the chief’s daughter Rikke begins to discover her own magic powers with the help of a mad witch. Savine dan Glokta, daughter of the most hated man in the Union, must also realise on her way to the top of society that will alone does not secure power. This is not only felt by the soldier Leo dan Brock, who waits for the king’s help on the bitterly contested border of Angland. In a world where the proverbial dagger in the back is taken literally, it is dangerous without allies.
“When one man knowingly kills another, they call it murder! When society causes the deaths of thousands, they shrug and call it a fact of life.”
