Narration Toward Books Half a King (Shattered Sea #1)
Alternate cover edition for ISBN 9780007550227 For all editions see here Betrayed by his family and left for dead, prince Yarvi, reluctant heir to a divided kingdom, has vowed to reclaim a throne he never wanted. But first he must survive cruelty, chains and the bitter waters of the shattered sea itself - all with only one good hand. Born a weakling in the eyes of a hard, cold world, he cannot grip a shield or swing an axe, so has sharpened his mind to a deadly edge. Gathering a strange fellowship of the outcast, he finds they can help him more than any noble could. Even so, Yarvi's path may end as it began - in twists, traps and tragedy.Identify About Books Half a King (Shattered Sea #1)

Opportunities to blurb ones nemesis are rare indeed. Having been published in ye olde aught-7, Joe Abercrombie is the elder in our Sith-padawan duo, whilst I have only been in print since late, late 2008. Our careers have followed similar trajectories: each of us receiving early and effusive critical praise (oh wait, that was him), each of us selling millions of books (him more millionsor a more ebullient publicist), each of us winning the David Gemmell Legend Award (oh wait, that was me), eachI like your night angel series...

Wow, this is only $0.99 right now on Amazon! I didn't like the second one as much, but this one was great!https://www.amazon.com/Half-King-Shat...This was really good. I'm not even gonna go into what the book is about because I accidentally read a spoiler in a review when I started reading it that wasn't marked and I don't want to do that to anybody. It's fantasy - the way fantasy should be. No endless boring descriptions about anything and everything. The pacing is great. I *loved* the
I'm wavering between a 3.5 and 4 stars for this one, but for now I'll leave it at 4.After sleeping on it, I've decided to lower this to a 3 on Goodreads, but just know that if I could give it a 3.5 I would. I still recommend this one, it just isn't quite a 4 star read to me. Let me explain:Half a King is a story of the underdog and revenge and a band of thieves. It has so many tropes and at times the dialogue is quite cliche. But the author occasionally does something so interesting and
12/29/17 - ON SALE for $2.99: http://amzn.to/2i0JcfgReviewed by: Rabid ReadsIt's not a secret that YA fantasy is second to only UF on my preferred genres list. It's also not a secret that YA fantasy has been falling flat for me recently. With the exception of Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas, the last 6 or 8 YA fantasies I've read have been disappointing at best, DNFs at worst.It was getting to the point that I was doubting myself, thinking that I was in some kind of genre-specific book funk, and

I LOVED IT!! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVED IT! Here is why... A man swings the scythe and the ax, a man pulls the oar and makes fast the know. Most of all a man hold the shield. A man holds the line. A man stands by his shoulder-man. What kind of man can do none of these things?I didn't ask for half a hand.I
