Sharp Ends

By Joe Abercrombie

Book Overview

Sharp Ends is the ultimate collection of award winning tales and exclusive new short stories from the master of grimdark fantasy, Joe Abercrombie. Violence explodes, treachery abounds, and the words are as deadly as the weapons in this rogue's gallery of side-shows, back-stories, and sharp endings from the world of the First Law. The Union army may be full of bastards, but there's only one who thinks he can save the day single-handed when the Gurkish come calling: the incomparable Colonel Sand dan Glokta. Curnden Craw and his dozen are out to recover a mysterious item from beyond the Crinna. Only one small problem: no one seems to know what the item is. Shevedieh, the self-styled best thief in Styria, lurches from disaster to catastrophe alongside her best friend and greatest enemy, Javre, Lioness of Hoskopp. And after years of bloodshed, the idealistic chieftain Bethod is desperate to bring peace to the North. There's only one obstacle left -- his own lunatic champion, the most feared man in the North: the Bloody-Nine . . .

Customer Reviews

An awesome addition to The First Law world

Don't read Sharp Ends until you have read The First Law trilogy AND the 3 stand-alones after it. If you have read those then Sharp Ends delivers some killer short stories including a bit of Shy South's back-story and some of the Bloody Nine's, Bethod's, Glokta's, and Craw too! Like always, Abercrombie delivers another masterpiece with Sharp Ends.
