“It is important, when killing a nun, to ensure that you bring an army of sufficient size.”

Holy...! This was one hell of a ride. A very lyrically woven and beautifully brutal ride. It's like a train at full speed, out of control, broken breaks heading toward a turn that will either be a very, very close call or well, your final destination (crash and burn). But you don't really care... No matter what happens, this was the ride of your life. Destruction can be beautiful too.

I think this is a book you'll either love or hate. Me? This is going on my favourites list. I adore Nona Grey ??? what a character. And I love this world Mark Lawrence has built: Abeth, a world mostly covered in ice save for the fifty mile wide Corridor that's kept ice-free because of the sun's rays only warming up that narrow space.

This book is very unique. Captivating. Bloody. So, so bloody. The characters are phenomenal. The magic system is intriguing. Mark Lawrence has a way with words, and I'm a new fan.

I shall definitely continue diving into this series.
