Synopsis

Princess Skara has seen all she loved made blood and ashes. She is left with only words. But the right words can be as deadly as any blade. She must conquer her fears and sharpen her wits to a lethal edge if she is to reclaim her birthright. Only half a war is fought with swords The deep-cunning Father Yarvi has walked a long road from crippled slave to king's minister. He has made allies of old foes and stitched together an uneasy peace. But now the ruthless Grandmother Wexen has raised the greatest army since the elves made war on God, and put Bright Yilling at its head - a man who worships no god but Death. Sometimes one must fight evil with evil Some - like Thorn Bathu and the sword-bearer Raith - are born to fight, perhaps to die. Others - like Brand the smith and Koll the wood-carver - would rather stand in the light. But when Mother War spreads her iron wings, she may cast the whole Shattered Sea into darkness.

3 Stars Man...I'm fairly conflicted in regard to my thoughts and feelings on this book... ...but I don't really want to talk about much of anything here in detail (if at all) for fear of laying down some unintentionally massive spoilers for the entire series. So I will just bullet point some general p......more

Goodreads review by James

"'A warriors place is at Death's side' said Raith as he stood. 'So he can introduce her to his enemies'" Half a War is the conclusive third book in Joe Abercrombie's Shattered Sea saga.
