我們的看法

《The Blade Itself》是一部寫給成年人的奇幻小說,重心在人物而非情節。走霉運的蠻族戰士、自負又自私的軍官、身體殘缺的審問官兼刑求者,三人都刻畫得極為細膩,很快就讓人覺得熟悉。不過也有讀者覺得前半節奏緩慢,整本書更像是三部曲的鋪陳。全書血腥而陰暗,適合看膩了天選之人與光明英雄的讀者。

值得一提 2006年的《劍刃本身》是喬・艾伯康比的第一部小說,也是「第一法則」三部曲的開篇,三部曲由2007年的《絞刑之前》和2008年的《諸王的最後論據》完成。它引出了這個系列賴以成名的人物:想要不再當殺手的北方人「九指」洛根;審判庭的刑訊官桑德・丹・格洛塔,他自己就被酷刑摧殘過,是當代奇幻裡最好笑的敘述者;為擊劍比賽受訓的虛榮年輕軍官傑札爾・丹・魯薩;以及自稱「魔法師之首」、正在把眾人召集起來遠行的巴亞茲。這一冊幾乎什麼都沒有解決,它是漫長的第一幕,三部曲的回報全靠它鋪墊。在「黑暗奇幻」這個詞流行之前的黑暗奇幻。

關於本書

Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian, has finally run out of luck. Caught in one feud too many, he's on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian -- leaving nothing behind him but bad songs, dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies. Nobleman, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, Captain Jezal dan Luthar has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle. But war is brewing, and on the battlefields of the frozen North they fight by altogether bloodier rules. Inquisitor Glokta, cripple turned torturer, would like nothing better than to see Jezal come home in a box. But then Glokta hates everyone: cutting treason out of the Union one confession at a time leaves little room for friendship. His latest trail of corpses may lead him right to the rotten heart of government, if he can stay alive long enough to follow it. Enter the wizard, Bayaz. A bald old man with a terrible temper and a pathetic assistant, he could be the First of the Magi, he could be a spectacular fraud, but whatever he is, he's about to make the lives of Logen, Jezal, and Glokta a whole lot more difficult. Murderous conspiracies rise to the surface, old scores are ready to be settled, and the line between hero and villain is sharp enough to draw blood.
