The Wisdom of Crowds by Joe Abercrombie
5.0
This is a superb trilogy, go read it. That's the extent of my comments to those who haven't read this book.
For those who have read it, I have to say, I loved this book, but I was also a little disappointed with the conclusion of this trilogy. Toward the end what Leo did seemed out of character. He never struck me as power hungry, and was happiest when he was on the battle field, so I just don't see it. Savine, sure, but to be more power hungry than Savine? There's just no way. Feel free to argue with me.
I also had a problem with the reveal of Glokta's machinations at the end. I'm re-reading the First Law books to confirm this, but having re-read the first two this week, I just don't see any indication of a decades-long master plan. My memory isn't great, and I haven't read the First Law in about 4 years, so I may be overlooking something huge. Let me know if you feel differently. I seem to be the only one who had any problem with this book, so it's probably just me.
