Espina Bathu es una de las pocas chicas de Gettlandia que ha recibido el don de la Madre Guerra. Desesperada por vengar
la muerte de su padre, vive para la lucha. Pero tras un trágico accidente en el cuadrado de entrenamiento, su propio instructor la tacha de asesina y se convierte en una proscrita. Zafándose del destino, la joven queda atrapada en una conspiración cuando se embarca en la nave del padre Yarvi, un clérigo tremendamente astuto. Junto con el resto de la tripulación, Espina surcará medio mundo en busca de aliados para luchar contra el despiadado Alto Rey, y aprenderá lecciones muy duras a base de engaños y sangre.
La acompaña en este viaje el joven Brand, un guerrero que odia matar. Aunque en una sociedad tan bélica como esta se le
considera un fracasado, el periplo por el mar Quebrado le ofrecerá una oportunidad inesperada para redimirse a los ojos de todos.

I liked the new main characters, and I was pleased to see Yarvi and other characters from the previous book. Yarvi's change so much and I can tell he'll be even more interesting in the next book.
It's amazing how complete the characters are after just meeting them in this book!
I did not know this was second in a trilogy, which says something about how well contained this book is. There are of course plenty of tropes, the selected hero, the love interest, the training montage, the victory from the jaws of defeat. I think that Abercrombie executes well though, with excruciatingly relatable coming of age, with engaging characters, and a fast pacing that left me wanting to know more. Fun quick read.
