Brett <p/>"Lawrence's epic fantasy is a great summer read, full of humor, revenge, and perils that this warrior-and-coward duo must evade in order [to] save their kingdoms and themselves."--<i>The Washington Post</i> <p/>"Exciting action and quick-witted dialog make it a fantastic summer page-turner."--<i>Library Journal</i> (starred review)<br><i><br></i>"Jalan Kendeth is a fine addition to this Loki-like roster of tricksters, knaves, and cowards: heroes and antiheroes we love to hate and hate to love...Mark Lawrence's growing army of fans will relish this rollicking new adventure and look forward to the next one."--The Daily Mail <p/>"As richly told as the earlier trilogy: The author makes this place, a post-cataclysm earth of the far future, feel as real as any place you've ever visited. For fans of the Broken Empire series and readers who enjoy a good, epic-sized fantasy story (readers of, say, George R. R. Martin), this is a must-read."--<i>Booklist</i> <p/>"Shrewd Jalan and honorable Snorri make a marvelous team, lightening a very dark story with wry humor. The brisk adventure and black magic will leave readers eager for the next chapter in the series."--<i>Publishers Weekly<br></i><br><p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br><b>Mark Lawrence</b> is a research scientist working on artificial intelligence.
