À propos de cet audio

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 . . .

Ce que les critiques en disent

"Pointed, driven, and sharp."—Locus on Red Country
"Terrific fight scenes, compelling characters (some familiar, some new), and sardonic, vivid prose show Abercrombie at the top of his game."—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review) on Red Country
"Magnificent, richly entertaining"—Time on The Heroes
"Imagine The Lord of the Rings as directed by Kurosawa."—Lev Grossman, Wall Street Journal on The Heroes
"[Abercrombie has] begun breaking his own rules. And succeeding wildly at it. ... [R]arely has Abercrombie had so much fun while rollicking through his colorful cast's foibles and witty dialogue - and rarely has he dished out so much straight-for-the-heart poignancy."—The A.V. Club
"New, fresh, and exciting."—The Independent (UK)
"Exhilarating... Abercrombie's knack for wit and grit holds your attention throughout, and his eye for character means that there's heart as well as muscle."—SFX (UK)
"Abercrombie writes fantasy like no one else."—Guardian

My first audiobook experience was Stephen Fry, who is very impressive. Then I listened to several more audiobooks and realized all narrators are not created equal, and Fry became my benchmark for great voice acting…

Dear Mr. Fry, with much love and respect, please step to the side. Stephen Pacey is amazing.

Oh. And Abercrombie’s work is fun, gritty, dark and wonderfully immersive.

There is only one book remaining of the 9/10 in this world for me to enjoy and I’m already planning on re-listening to the whole series!

Narrator is unbelievably talented!

My fiancé and I have listened to all the First Law books and we are completely hooked!! We both loved the depth this anthology added to the other stories and we had fun tracing the timelines of the series. Pacey is absolutely perfect for Ambercrombie's action-packed style and humor. We really tried to drag this one out as we no longer have any books left to listen to... very much hoping the final book in the "Little Hatred" trilogy comes out soon!

To be frank, I can be frank yes? I assume, as I am writing this with no editorial review I can bloody well be anyone I like. So, yes, I will be frank.

This, like everything from this duo of author and narrator has been bloody perfection.

Perfection

Originally read these books in print and really enjoyed them, enough to revisit the series. Decided to give the audiobooks a try for driving & tedious tasks. Stephen Pacey gave me a voice and personality to compliment every character.

One of my favourite authors read by my favourite narrator
