This novella (and at forty eight pages of story I use that term loosely) is an interesting backstory to the character Durzo Blint.

It’s a very enjoyable read after completing Week’s trilogy as it does a wonderful job at filling in some gaps.

The writing is unique as it’s sort of fragmented and non-linear, more of a retelling of important events in order of importance, you’ll find that the timing becomes irrelevant.

Although it is very short it’s certainly a great evening of reading that adds a new depth to a very central character in his previous works.
