This book was recommended to me by my teacher, she told me it’s a dark sad book about people who kill to survive. At the time I had currently already chosen a book but over the holidays I finished that book so I didn’t think that this assignment was going to be as fun when these I already knew the answers to these questions and would feel like I was cheating. As I said before this book was recommended to me by my teacher so I have no idea who Robert Weeks (the author) was.

On the front cover is a man at a close range shot with only half of his body on the left side of the cover. He is holding 2 sabres horizontally across the cover. He is wearing a hooded cloak and a belt with a pouch hanging on it. Surrounding this man are glass-like purple strands in the background that look like a shadow of the man.

My teacher told me that this is a sad book about people that need to kill to survive so that’s exactly what I think this book is about. After reading the first chapter my questions are as follows: What is the Rats Guild? A guild of thieves. Why does he need four coppers? He needs money. Who is Durzo? A local person. I am going to see through Azoth’s point of view throughout the entire book.
