Un poco de odio

"A Little Hate", the long-awaited new novel by Joe Abercrombie, which kicks off the "Age of Madness" trilogy, takes us back to the world of "The First Law." Years later, the age of the machine is coming to the Circle of the World, but the age of magic refuses to die. The chimneys of industry rise above Adua and the world is abuzz with new opportunities. But the old quarrels have not been forgotten. On the battered borders of Angland, Leo dan Brock struggles to achieve battlefield fame and defeat the armies of Stour Nightfall. For this he hopes to receive help from the crown, but it is better not to have the son of King Jezal, the irresponsible Prince Orso. Savine dan Glokta -influential investor and daughter of the most feared man in the Union- plans to rise to the top of society's scum heap by whatever means are necessary. What she does not count on is that no money will be able to curb the anger that will erupt in the suburbs. With the help of mountain climber Isern-i-Phail, Ikke tries to control the gift, or curse, of the long eye. Seeing the future is one thing, but changing it, when the First of the Magi continues to pull the strings, is quite another.
