Snakewood
Autor Adrian Selbyen Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 ian 2017
An
epic
fantasy
like
no
other,
Adrian
Selby's
debut
takes
an
unblinking
look
at
the
price
we
pay
for
our
pasts,
the
art
of
war
and
the
people
who
make
it
their
business.
Enter
a
violent
world
of
revenge
and
bloody
combat
with
characters
you'll
never
forget.
They
called
them
Kailen's
Twenty,
a
legendary
band
of
ruthless
mercenaries
who
gave
no
quarter.
Living
only
by
the
code
of
steel,
blood
and
coin,
and
aided
by
fightbrews
that
gave
them
the
edge
in
battle,
whoever
met
their
price
won.
Now,
broken
up
and
seemingly
forgotten,
they
are
being
hunted
down,
one
by
one.
Drawn
from
multiple
accounts
compiled
by
a
scholar
investigating
the
legendary
group's
demise,
who
is
also
the
son
of
one
of
the
Twenty,
SNAKEWOOD
is
fantasy
at
its
most
inventive
and
rewarding.

Betrayal and retribution epitomize Selby's epic fantasy/thriller debut, set in an Earth-like, barbaric, drugged-up society reliant on plant-based narcotic concoctions for addictive potions and deadly poisons. His detail-heavy, conversational dialogue in memoir/journal design and his militant, Berserker-ish characters keep pages turning. Perfect for fans of Joe Abercrombie.—RT Book Reviews
"Not your typical grimdark fantasy....While it's a complex tale, this is also an immensely readable one, and should appeal to fans of the immersive world-building of Brandon Sanderson.
