A pair of the vilest, meanest, most murderous thugs ever to grace the pages of a fantasy novel ... This is not for the faint-hearted or the queasy - imagine Tarantino crossed with Rabelais * Guardian ‘This is a tale grimmer than the grimmest of the Grimms, redolent of blood, excrement, vomit and putrefaction … As the antithesis of conventional fantasy, this is a tour de force’ *
Telegraph * ‘Raucous, lewd, and grisly’ *
Esquire * ‘The mix of grimmer-than-Grimm fairy tale tropes […] and medieval history is striking and often funny’ *
