“Every man had his own special language of agony. Some screamed and howled without end. Some cried out for help, for mercy, for water, for their mothers. Some coughed and gurgled and spat blood. Some wheezed and rattled out their last breaths.”

World building has always been the last refuge of the untalented when it comes to fantasy writing. If more time was spent on plot and characters, and less on GDP and child mortality rates of these 'fantasy worlds,' we'd all be a lot better off.

This is a tough series to review as a whole - mostly since I read these books for the first time about ten years ago when they were first published. But I've read all of the books multiple times each since my first completion of the series, which is fairly rare for me to do. For me, these books were a gateway into a different type of fantasy novel that I didn't know I desperately wanted until I read them. When I first read The Blade Itself, I was so steeped in high fantasy, swords and sorceryThe last book destroys the whole series for me. The first two books were decent, and I felt like they were building towards something interesting. However, the ending of the last book is so laughably bad, the first two books are rendered pointless and not worth reading. Instead of using an easy, clichéd story book ending, the author took an equally lazy route by making every character and plotline end horribly. I think he meant to impress us with his "grittiness" and depth by avoiding the happy
Well, its been almost two months since I started. I did take a break between each book, but still, that is some investment.I did not do this in the right order, lets get that out of the way first. I stumbled upon 'The Heroes' by accident, immediately realized I was probably a bit in the dark about some things-and yet plowed ahead anyway because what the hell, I was sucked in.Then a year later I wanted to go back-but wasnt ready to commit to the full trilogy, so I did 'Best Served Cold', which
Holy shit. This trilogy was incredible. I was rooting hard for an expert torturer, a murderous barbarian, a revenge obsessed bitch, a self-obsessed idiot noble and a power-crazed anti-Gandalf. What a fucking ride. If you didn't like this series you should stop reading and stick to Hollywood movies. Actually maybe just stick to Hollywood _superhero_ movies. It's not like there's any shortage of them. P.S. Glokta is my favorite. My first son will be named Sand. If Logen is yours we can probably
Just as excellent as when reading it for the first time a few years back, I'll admit I mostly went into this trilogy for two reasons: laziness (knowing that this will grab me and be just oh-so enjoyable) and delay, in order to start A Little Hatred as close to the completion of the new trilogy as possible. I was not wrong regarding the first reason. I forgot just enough to be still surprised a lot and yet be excited with meeting the characters I knew before - dangerous Logen, brilliant Glokta,
I finished The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie ("The Blade Itself", "Before They Are Hanged", and "Last Arguments of Kings"). This is not an ordinary fantasy story. No knight saving the damsel in distress. No slaying of the dragon. No good always triumphs. No happily ever after. People, events, and the world are not cut and dry black and white, just infinite shades of gray. It is grim, gritty, and dark, but not bleak. Though there are evil characters in this story, their evilness is not a
A fantastic trilogy. The Blade Itself got off to a rough start, I struggled to get myself fully into to the story and had to leave it on my bookshelf for a week before diving into the second half. I started reading this trilogy after picking up a copy of The Heroes and loved it, thankfully my love of his storytelling and writing style encouraged me to return to The Blade Itself. The struggle continued, though once I'd reached the end I knew I had made the right decision in returning to the
