Summary
Second in the age of Madness trilogy, The Trouble with Peace is the next instalment of a series which is revolutionising fantasy....
Conspiracy. Betrayal. Rebellion.
Peace is just another kind of battlefield....
Savine dan Glokta, once Adua's most powerful investor, finds her judgement, fortune and reputation in tatters. But she still has all her ambitions, and no scruple will be permitted to stand in her way.
For heroes like Leo dan Brock and Stour Nightfall, only happy with swords drawn, peace is an ordeal to end as soon as possible. But grievances must be nursed, power seized and allies gathered first, while Rikke must master the power of the Long Eye...before it kills her.
Unrest worms into every layer of society. The Breakers still lurk in the shadows, plotting to free the common man from his shackles, while noblemen bicker for their own advantage. Orso struggles to find a safe path through the maze of knives that is politics, only for his enemies, and his debts, to multiply.
The old ways are swept aside, and the old leaders with them, but those who would seize the reins of power will find no alliance, no friendship, and no peace, lasts forever.

Amazing and consistent
Great writing, brought to life by great narration. I have listened to the whole series of audio books by this pairing and have never been disappointed. An intelligent, funny, emotive and compelling look at the elements that bind and divide humanity.

Masterful
Like all the best fiction, it’s full of horrible truth. Wonderfully written, believable characters and sublimely voiced.

Tears were shed
Oh, Leo, there was just too much fire in you, wasn't there? Too much energy and ambition and pride and insecurity. And under all that - the cheerful boy who never really grew up. Hotspur of Angland, I salute thee even as I weep. And poor, poor Orso. He never wanted any of this. Never wanted to play the wicked game, to wield power, to triumph over his enemies on the field of battle. But now the battle has been fought and the chessboard rearranged and once more the pieces are moving. The Great Change is coming. Who will survive?

Abercrombie continues to write brilliantly
Favourite fantasy writer read by my favourite narrator. Unfortunately, magic is disappearing from the world.

cant wait for the next
if I could marry both abecrombe and pacey I would. I have listened to every book and if my ears fall off I will have no other option but to murder every person I see until I'm caught or my ears grow back... I still have ears so can't wait for not only the next but everything that follows... As long as I keep my ears.

Just keeps getting better
loved the development from the first book and the character arcs are superb. I first came across Steven Pacey reading the original Abercrombie trilogy, I now buy audio books because he is reading them.

As good as audio books get
I'm a fan of Joe Abercrombie and this story doesn't disappoint. Wonderful, well observed, believable, flawed, likeable characters and a plot with plenty of intrigue, humour, action and artful balance. Tour de force from Mr Pacey as usual. There's a large bit of me says always better reading the text and imagining the characters yourself - however, I'm just about prepared to make an exception to the rule for the Abercrombie/Pacey audio books. Simply fabulous.

Another great one
Is it as good as the last? I think so, it continues the themes of the class-divide and automation, it has great twists that make a lot of sense, it also has great character development that wrapped up nicely by the end.
My problems with this sequel would be that maybe I felt the inqs daughter seemed a little too erratic, I might of appreciated a little insight into why she thought to do certain things. I also felt the swapping of perspectives to victims of circumstance in two instances went on a bit too long,
I consumed this quite quickly though and it is of course a matter of taste, and none of this spoiled anything.
Really great though, I'll be very sad when this is all concluded.
