“’No one likes to shake hands with the man who empties the latrine pits either, but pits have to be emptied all the same. Otherwise the world fills up with shit.’”

“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.”
In “The First Law Trilogy (#1-3)” by Joe Abercrombie
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 sorceryHoly 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,

A new favorite author. I stumbled upon this series at the local library. Loved the way the books were described on the cover. Loved the way the author made me care about characters that normally wouldn't be all that sympathetic. Bought the trilogy, bought Best Served Cold and will eventually buy The Heroes. As a writer myself, I enjoy looking at the way other writers construct scenes, portray characters and offer dialogue. These books came alive in my mind and I can't wait to read more by this
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
"Heads on spikes, eh? Never goes out of fashion."...so you can see this is classic Swords and Sorcery. Engaging characters that you're sorry to see die and liberally peppered with humorous observations. The berserker and his fellow barbarians have great names and although there are many bloody battles necessary to medieval warfare, the author doesn't stoop to pornographic sex and grotesque violence to tell a good tale.Better on second read! Revisit before going on to #4-6..."his father had been
I absolutely loved this series. It's gritty, bloody, violent and full of characters that I hated one moment, loved the next then hated again. Almost every character is self-serving and doesn't care about anything except their own agenda and will crush anybody who they disagree with and/or don't like -- kinda reminds me of today's Republican party! I highly recommend!
