I dare you to read the first chapter and try not to turn the next page."<b>âEuro"Brent Weeks</b><br><br>âEuro²<i>Half a King</i> can be summed up in a single word: masterpiece. ItâEuros a coming-of-age story. ItâEuros a Viking saga. ItâEuros a revenge tale and family drama and the return of the prodigal son. But most of all, itâEuros this: a short time alongside people as weak and blundering as we are and, in the midst of it all, as heroic. Far too short a time, as it turns out. What a wonderful book."<b>âEuro"Myke Cole</b><br><br>âEuro²<i>Half a King</i> is full of all the adventure IâEurove come to expect from Abercrombie and a tenderness I never knew he had."<b>âEuro"Sam Sykes</b>
