Simultaneously THE ABSOLUTE SHIT and a little problematic. I have a weak spot for ol' Joe and I am so happy to be back in The First Law. Monza is the Grand Duchess of my heart.

4.0

Dark and hilarious from pretty much the start, this book is a great continuation of The First Law trilogy. A lot happened in this book, and occasionally it began to drag a little bit. There could have been an opportunity to dive this into more than one book, but I am glad that Abercrombie chose not to do so. There were some things that could have been expanded upon had there been more than one book, but stretching out the story would have made the slow parts all the more difficult to get through.

Of course, Nicomo Cosca was the best character in this book. From the moment he came back onto the scene the book got all the more better. Absolutely everything he did and said was amazing. I look forward to seeing what happens to him next.

L'ho addirittura preferito alla trilogia della Prima Legge. Una sorte di Conte di Montecristo versione grimdark fantasy. La combinazione di umorismo e violenza è geniale e rende il libro avvincente e scorrevolissimo. I personaggi sono tutti grigi, complessi e moralmente molto discutibili; li ho amati tutti, in particolare Brivido ma anche la protagonista Monza mi è piaciuta molto. È pieno di tradimenti e colpi di scena fino all'ultima pagina. Una vera bomba.

I basically hated most of the characters in this book. Especially the main character but damn Joe can write well. I badly wanted to see how this was going to end
