My heart raced, my jaw dropped multiple times and I was left astonished! Say one thing for Abercrombie, say his books should come with a health warning!
Nimble, brutal and hilarious, it's Abercrombie leading us into bloody war, so all bets are off!
I thoroughly enjoyed this new addition to the Abercrombie canon - lots of action as always, with a wry humour and plenty of intrigue
The Trouble with Peace is effortlessly brilliant. Joe Abercrombie has created something truly amazing and I can't wait for the next book

It's smart. It's witty. This is an absolutely top-notch work of fantasy
Joe Abercrombie is a master of the genre
Brutal, grim, and often so very compelling, The Trouble with Peace is a totally unputdownable grimdark story
A breakneck- speed fantasy book that brings in all the elements of a political thriller, action romp and reflective memoir. Job well done.
When it comes to blood and guts in fantasy - there's nobody better versed than Joe Abercrombie.
I had insanely high expectations for the sequel. But The Trouble with Peace met pretty much all of them.
Memorable characters, spellbindingly ferocious action, twists that scare a pretzel and gallows humour to die for, The Trouble with Peace mauls expectations to serve up a sublime sequel that's even better than it's showstopper of a predecessor
The first book in this new series was great. This is even better...one of my books of the year
