描述
The city's vibrant streets brim with life, a captivating yet dangerous backdrop for Diaz's journey. Fiery debates within the ruling class and the shadowy figures lurking in the alleys lead him to question not just the righteousness of his mission, but also the nature of faith itself. Old alliances are tested, and friendships can quickly turn to betrayals in a world where survival often trumps virtue.
Amidst the chaos, Diaz discovers that even the most apparently pious can harbor darkness within. As he delves deeper, the stakes grow higher, and the consequences of his choices become ever more dire. The more he uncovers, the more he realizes that the path to salvation can sometimes lead through the gates of hell.
In a tale rich with moral complexity and vivid characterization, Diaz's odyssey is a powerful exploration of faith, power, and the struggle for redemption in a world where the sacred often dances perilously close to the unholy.

Jeder der Entsandten der jungen Päpstin hat irgendwelche liebenswerten Charakterzüge was den Leser mit jedem einzelnen mitfiebern lässt.
Das diese parallele historisch-fantastische Welt unserer so ähnlich ist, macht es leicht sich darin zu orientieren, aber die Unterschiede lassen die Geschichte niemals an Spannung verlieren. Die Gefahren sind erheblich und fantastisch, aber was hat frau zu fürchten, wenn Vampiere und Werwölfe auf ihrer Seite sind?
Disclaimer: I received an advanced reader copy of this book via NetGalley and my opinion is entirely my own.I've never read Joe Abercrombie. I’ve heard nothing but good things about his work, but I had a very long period in my teens, when The First Law was being released, where I didn't read anything, so I essentially skipped him. And when I decided to apply for an ARC of The Devils, I knew there was a chance that I’d either not be approved for it, or I wouldn't even like it.The Devils is devilishly delightful. Featuring a veritable rogues gallery of terrible mythical creatures, and cursed criminals killing their way across an alternate Europe, The Devils is packed with action and laughs. While the perspective shifts were a little jarring at first, I began to appreciate them for the way that they forwarded the action through the eyes of the various characters. There's action aplenty here, and the clash of magic and creatures across various different folklore makes for a world with some impressive depth.It doesn't take itself too seriously, but still allows itself to indulge in sincerity from time to time. The cast of characters are endearing and packed with quirks that make this a crazy enjoyable read. The alternate Europe serves as an intriguing world that is both familiar and strange. The Devils is a wonderful read and Abercrombie is a master of his craft.
