REVIEW: ‘Red Country’ by Joe Abercrombie 
They burned her home. They stole her brother and sister.But vengeance is following.
 Shy South hoped to bury her bloody past and ride away smiling, but she’ll have to sharpen up some bad old ways to get her family back, and she’s not a woman to flinch from what needs doing…  
   She sets off in pursuit with only a pair of oxen and her cowardly old stepfather Lamb for company.  But it turns out Lamb’s buried a bloody past of his own, and out in the lawless Far Country, the past never stays buried.   Their journey will take them across the barren plains to a frontier town gripped by gold fever, through feud, duel and massacre, high into the unmapped mountains to a reckoning with the Ghosts.  Even worse, it will force them into alliance with Nicomo Cosca, infamous soldier of fortune, and his feckless lawyer Temple, two men no one should ever have to trust…”

Gotta pimp my stuff a little:

For fans of the geeky stuff like books and comics I have a couple blogs, both are featured at The Outhouse, but I also have standard blogs and if it’s easier I link to them from a tumblr account as well for those that prefer the tumbling.

Any support, follows, etc. are greatly appreciated :)

Including comments, reviews are all about discussion and not just one person’s view.

Another “lovable rogue” style book, this one probably one of my favorites though.  Really enjoyed all the layers of this story.  This first person fantasy mixes quite a bit of mystery with it’s wonder.

From my review blog Reading Realms at The Outhouse website.  A review of one of the best books I’ve read in a long time.  This is a must read for any fantasy fan in my opinion.
