Recently Received Galley: A Crown for Cold Silver

I just received a review copy (eBook galley/ARC) for soon-to-be-released A crown for Cold Silver by Alex Marshall, which has some great early buzz. (see below) Here’s a sneak peek:

A Crown For Cold Silver (Alex Marshall)A CROWN FOR COLD SILVER: “It was all going so nicely, right up until the massacre.”

Twenty years ago, feared general Cobalt Zosia led her five villainous captains and mercenary army into battle, wrestling monsters and toppling an empire. When there were no more titles to win and no more worlds to conquer, she retired and gave up her legend to history.

Now the peace she carved for herself has been shattered by the unprovoked slaughter of her village. Seeking bloody vengeance, Zosia heads for battle once more, but to find justice she must confront grudge-bearing enemies, once-loyal allies, and an unknown army that marches under a familiar banner.

FIVE VILLAINS. ONE LEGENDARY GENERAL. A FINAL QUEST FOR VENGEANCE.

EARLY PRAISE:

“Exceptional writing, middle-aged warrior heroine, and organically infused gender nonconformity make this fantasy epic a first-rate trailblazer… splendid storytelling, wry humor, and unresolved intrigue.”—Publishers Weekly (Starred Review)

“This brawny revenge fantasy feels like a Tarantino movie: a hugely entertaining mix of adventure and comedy, punctuated by moments of darkness, with clever dialogue and explosive set-pieces… A pure joy to read.”—Booklist (Starred Review)

If you read it before I do, let me know what you think. No spoilers!
