A Crown for Cold Silver: The Crimson Empire, cartea 1
Autor Alex Marshallen Limba Engleză Paperback – 14 sep 2015
"It
was
all
going
so
nicely,
right
up
until
the
massacre."
Twenty
years
ago,
feared
general
Cobalt
Zosia
led
her
five
villainous
captains
and
mercenary
army
into
battle,
wrestling
monsters
and
toppling
an
empire.
When
there
were
no
more
titles
to
win
and
no
more
worlds
to
conquer,
she
retired
and
gave
up
her
legend
to
history.
Now
the
peace
she
carved
for
herself
has
been
shattered
by
the
unprovoked
slaughter
of
her
village.
Seeking
bloody
vengeance,
Zosia
heads
for
battle
once
more,
but
to
find
justice
she
must
confront
grudge-bearing
enemies,
once-loyal
allies,
and
an
unknown
army
that
marches
under
a
familiar
banner.
FIVE
VILLAINS.
ONE
LEGENDARY
GENERAL.
A
FINAL
QUEST
FOR
VENGEANCE.

Recenzii
"This
is
my
favorite
kind
of
fantasy
--
alternatively
irreverent
and
brutal,
with
a
cast
of
wonderfully
scarred
and
nasty
people.
Any
fans
of
Steven
Erikson,
Mark
Lawrence,
or
Joe
Abercrombie
will
loveA
Crown
for
Cold
Silver;
I've
just
finished
it,
and
I'm
already
eager
for
more."—Django

"Alex Marshall builds a sprawling world that grows larger and deeper with every page. Instantly believable. Zosia and her Five Villains are as fun as they are twisted."—David Dalglish
"An epic fantasy that will surprise you. When was the last time you read one of those? Marshall deftly sets up and subverts expectations at every turn. If you think you know what's coming, think again."—Kameron Hurley
"Brimming with imagination and invention... Fabulous!"—John Gwynne
"Exceptional writing, middle-aged warrior heroine, and organically infused gender nonconformity make this fantasy epic a first-rate trailblazer... splendid storytelling, wry humor, and unresolved intrigue."—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)
"This brawny revenge fantasy feels like a Tarantino movie: a hugely entertaining mix of adventure and comedy, punctuated by moments of darkness, with clever dialogue and explosive set-pieces... A pure joy to read."—Booklist (Starred Review)
"This sweeping adventure is a first from Marshall and delivers a colorful cast. It sparkles with details that make a fantasy world come alive: echoes of cultures jumbled together in new ways, drug addicts who allow poisonous insects to sting them for a high, and unusual gender roles and depictions."—Library Journal (Starred Review)
"Full of bloody battles, intimidating monsters and incredible feats, fans of thoughtful storytelling, tough-as-nails heroines and absorbing fantasy will love this novel."—RT Book Reviews
"Marshall's rich cast of characters .... are driven by passion, duty and humanizing, terrifying flaws... A Crown for Cold Silver drags epic fantasy through the mud - but it does so with wit, wonder and wisdom."—NPR Books
"Looking forward to see[ing] more of this complicated and dark world."—Philadelphia Free Press
"A complex, mold-breaking fantasy protagonist."—B&N Sci-Fi & Fantasy Blog
"This lusty debut will have you gasping in one breath and laughing in the next with its cast of multicultural characters, gender-bending soldiers, same-sex coupled kings and warrior women of all ages who throw themselves into the fray. By the latter half of the novel, you realize Marshall is playing a long, glorious game."—Washington Post
