After reading the first book in the First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie I was wondering when will the second book be translated in Slovene, since the first was published in 2017, but the book is far from new, being published in 2006, the second in the trilogy was published in 2007, so I was expecting it to be translated quite soon. And I was right, here it is right from the printers.
What we are dealing whit in the second book Before They Are Hanged? Bitter and merciless war is coming to the frozen north. It's bloody and dangerous and the Union army, split by politics and hamstrung by incompetence, is utterly unprepared for the slaughter that's coming. Lacking experience, training, and in some cases even weapons the army is scarcely equipped to repel Bethod's scouts, let alone the cream of his forces.
In the heat-ravaged south the Gurkish are massing to assault the city of Dagoska, defended by Inquisitor Glokta. The city is braced for the inevitable defeat and massacre to come, preparations are made to make the Gurkish pay for every inch of land ... but a plot is festering to hand the city to its besiegers without a fight, and the previous Inquisitor of Dagoska vanished without trace. Threatened from within and without the city, Glokta needs answers, and he needs them soon.
And to the east a small band of malefactors travel to the edge of the world to reclaim a device from history - a Seed, hidden for generations - with tremendous destructive potential. A device which could put a end to war, to the army of Eaters in the South, to the invasion of Shanka from the North - but only if it can be found, and only if its power can be controlled.
Now I can't wait for the final part of the trilogy. Hope it will be translated and published soon.
The nail polish is from H&M, before they revamped their beauty line. It's called Pink Macaroon and it's a baby pink, application was ok, although some brush strokes are visible.
Have a great day!
