A classic coming-of-age tale set in a vivid and richly-imagined world from Sunday Times bestselling author Joe Abercrombie. ‘A fast-paced tale of betrayal and revenge that grabbed me from page one and refused to let go’ GEORGE R.R. MARTIN Prince Yarvi has vowed to regain a throne he never wanted. But first he must survive cruelty, chains and the bitter waters of the Shattered Sea itself. And he must do it all with only one good hand. Born a weakling in the eyes of his father, Yarvi is alone in a world where a strong arm and a cold heart rule. He cannot grip a shield or swing an axe, so he must sharpen his mind to a deadly edge. Gathering a strange fellowship of the outcast and the lost, he finds they can do more to help him become the man he needs to be than any court of nobles could. But even with loyal friends at his side, Yarvi’s path may end as it began – in twists, and traps and tragedy… Review: amazing - that is a kind of book that you dont think to read and the day after it is already finished, excellent style , captivating caracters Review: Incrível - Eu gosto muito dos livros do Joe Abercrombie. Gostei muito do estilo de escrita da trilogia A primeira Lei, este estilo é bem diferente, mas muito bom, da mesma maneira. O livro em inglês transmite uma ideia completamente diferente ao meu ver, muito bom de ler!

Starker Start der Shattered Sea Reihe!!
Nachdem Prinz Yarvi von seinen engsten Vertrauten verraten wurde schwört er Rache. Verkauft in die Sklaverei wächst sein Hass mit jedem Tag mehr. Er brauch starke Verbündete die ihm helfen den schwarzen Thron zurück zu erobern. Diese findet er auch, sie sind zwar keine Krieger, aber sie stehen im Treu zur Seite. Wird seine Mission von Erfolg gekrönt sein? Mein erstes Buch von Joe Abercrombie und ich liebe es. Yarvi ist ein toller Hauptcharakter, er ist sympathisch, schlau, witzig und weiß einfach was er will. Endlich mal kein Buch wo es um eine Liebesbeziehung oder Dreiecksbeziehung geht, dass ist nämlich inzwischen sehr selten geworden. Dann hätten wir noch "Nothing", einer von Yarvis neuen Gefährten. Das ist natürlich nicht sein richtiger Name, den erfahren wir am Ende des Buches. Ich mochte ihn sehr, er hat zwar einen Knacks weg, aber sein Humor ist großartig. Ich würde ja gern noch andere erwähnen, aber damit würde ich zu viel von der Handlung verraten. Sag wir einfach mal so, Yarvi hat sich schon einen komischen Haufen an Gefährten zusammen gesucht. Ich mochte sie alle und habe Tränen vergossen für diejenigen, die unterwegs gestorben sind. Ich hoffe das wir alle nochmal in Band 2 wieder sehen, sie waren schon eine starke Gruppe. Fazit: Die Handlung war super spannend, voller Überraschungen und voller Action. Es wurde zu keiner Zeit langweilig, Spannung war immer vorhanden. Es gab kaum einen Zeitpunkt wo die Gruppe nicht um ihr Leben fürchten oder kämpfen musste. Die Aufmachung des Buches ist einfach super schick und der Schreibstil des Autors haut einen um. Ich freue mich schon auf den nächsten Teil!!

Great Read, just what I wanted
After finishing the First Law Series, this was just the thing to scratch my grimdark itch. Classic Abercrombie here.

The start of something fantastic.
This book was outstanding. All of the elements required to create a fantastic fantasy novel were present: an intriguing plot, complex characters, mystery, clever twists, detailed world building and excellent pacing. There is also no info dumping, any exposition is cleverly woven into the dialogue making it more organic and palatable for the reader. Abercrombie achieved all of this in under 400 pages. A real pet peeve of mine is when authors feel the need to pad books out with superfluous nonsense that in no way deepens their world, shades their characters or advances the plot; it's almost as if they have a page goal to reach even if the story does not require it. But Half a King is all the better for being brisk and I cannot wait to see where book two in the trilogy takes the story.
