Just...really good low fantasy revenge plot.

Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie. It's set in the same world as the First Law trilogy, but its a standalone. It's actiony low fantasy fun.

I love Joe Abercrombie's fantasy noir/grimdark. It's long on swords and short on magic. If you want to emulate someone, I can't think of a better choice. He writes fully realized characters, even for his bit parts. He avoids cliches in his phrasing and dialogue, so everything seems fresh. And he does great action scenes. I think the best introduction to Abercrombie is Best Served Cold.

I think it's also important to read Mark Lawrence, starting with Prince of Thorns.

Good shit right here.

If you're into something with a bit more of a fantasy vibe, Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie might fit the bill.

The main character absolutely fits "The colder and deadlier, the better."

Joe Abercrombie. Best Served Cold is a stand-alone book and is a good introduction to the world. If you like it, he's got a whole series.

Yes they do. For instance some recent Fantasy novels (by Joe Abercrombie) I expressly picked up the UK version instead of the US version since the US covers are fugly in comparison.

US: http://www.amazon.com/Best-Served-Cold-Joe-Abercrombie/dp/0316198358/ref=sr_1_15?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1323368339&sr=1-15

UK: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Best-Served-Cold-Joe-Abercrombie/dp/0575082488/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323368376&sr=8-1

The US versions always seem to have some tight-leather clad women looking all edgy while the UK versions have more classy covers in my opinion.
