I read the first in this trilogy (”The Blade Itself”) and was quite pleased when this follow-up became available earlier in March. The inquisitor-torturer Glotka returns, sent by the Arch Lector to defend Dagoska from the Gurkish, equipped with no funds and the contempt of the local council. Bayaz continues with with his quest, accompanied by the named man Ninefingers, the she-devil Ferro, and Jezal. Threetrees, Tul, Grim, and Dogman have joined with the army to help repel the Northman, accompanied by Prince Ladisla, a man completely adored by himself and of no use whatsoever in battle. The author does a fantastic job creating a character-driven story, and although I’ve never been a fan of fantasy, it is very difficult to put there books down. These are just great stories, and there are times where I found myself lost in the scenes that were being painted for me. I’ve just started “The Last Argument of Kings,” the last book of the trilogy and due to be published in the U.S. in 2009 (check www.Amazon.co.uk in the meantime).
