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.”
