Fantasy Book Review: Best Served Cold by Preita Salyer

We would like to welcome Preita Salyer, the latest addition to our ever-expanding review team. Preita’s first review is now live and she has provided a thoughtful and insightful look at Joe Abercrombie’s latest offering Best Served Cold.

In conclusion Preita says “All-in-all this was an enjoyable and smart read. The dialogue is well written and witty, the scenery and battle scenes gracefully and beautifully executed, and the characters bold, brilliant, and brutal. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for something new and different in the fantasy genre.”

About the author
In 2002 Joe Abercrombie began the writing of a fantasy trilogy based around the adventures of Logan Ninefingers. Completed with the help and the support of his family in 2004, and after initial rejections, The First Law trilogy (The Blade Itself, Before They Are Hanged and Last Argument of Kings) was taken onboard by Gillian Redfearn at Gollancz in 2005. It has since been published in eight countries, seven languages and with seven different titles.
