I think this is the fastest I've ever read any book. Which says a lot about the quality of writing of the book and my interest in it. The motley crew of people from the last book are on a journey in this book. Bayaz, Logen Ninefingers, Jezal, Ferro, Quai, and Brother Longfoot. They are looking for something called "The Seed" which is located at the "End of the World", which is a place. So far so good. The character of Superior Glokta takes a strong boost in this book. He bribes, swindles, and cheats his way through a town under siege and of course, we get introduced to one of my favorite characters created by Joe Abercrombie, Nicomo Cosca. Cosca is a bastard, and he is my favorite bastard. His is one character that is developed fully in "Best Served Cold" and its a joy reading about him.
All said, the book is very fast, very fun and very recommended. Be sure to read "The Blade Itself" before starting this one and keep "The Argument Of Kings" handy once you finish this one.
Cheers!
