BOOKS4PEOPLE Half A War By Joe Abercrombie: Book 3 (Shattered Sea)

Half a War is Book 3 of the Shattered Sea series. This instalment references Princess Skara and Father Yarvi, alongside figures including Thorn Bathu, Raith, Brand the smith and Koll the wood-carver. Synopsis Princess Skara has seen everything she loved reduced to ashes, leaving her with only words, and the suggestion that the right words can be as lethal as any blade. The description also states that only part of any war is fought with swords. Father Yarvi is described as deeply cunning, having travelled from crippled slave to king’s minister, and now facing the greatest army since the elves made war on God. As Mother War spreads her iron wings, the Shattered Sea is threatened with darkness, and the text suggests that sometimes evil must be met with evil.
