'Red Country reads like neither a Western nor a fantasy novel, but something new, fresh and exciting' The Independent

'There's jaw-dropping violence, twists, turns and character arcs that prompt the occasional muted cheer. Abercrombie is fast supplanting George R.R. Martin as the standard by which all contemporary epic fantasy should be measured.' Pornokitsch
