Thoughts
- like the title suggest this book is about revenge. It takes place in Joe Abercrombie‘s universe. It’s a story about a mercenary named Monza and her crew as she exact her revenge. There’s a poisoner Morveer. There is a Northman named Shivers. And there’s an interesting mercenary who likes to count his name is Friendly. Also Cosca returns as the now ousted mercenary general
