Another cracking book by Abercrombie. I've loved every book set in the same world as 'The First Law' and I now eagerly await the second book of this series. Fast paced and full action, tension and interesting dialogue. Introduces us to some brilliant new characters whilst some familiar faces are there to link it all together and make it feel familiar. The character development is interesting and in many cases relatable. And as always, the book is full of gritty descriptions and the characters all together not having an easy time, making the whole thing seem far more realistic than most other books. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed it and am yet to find an Ambercrombie book that has let me down.

Listened to this on Audible. Narrator Steven Pacey was incredible.
The story, the characters... solid!

This is absolutely brilliant - I have read some great books this year but this books is by far the best. Please, please, please if you are on the sidelines, jump in both feet - this will entertain you and is so cleverly written. WHAT A SHOCK (somewhere in the book - no spoiler from me!) 500 hundred stars!

What an absolute disappointment.
I was expecting legends and complete bastards, both in one character, but I got the woes of industrialization and how hard it's being a whamen. Instead of hard men fighting battles I got a period piece.
