I gave up on this book. I am so happy that an hour later I decided to continue it. This book may feel like nothing is happening for the majority of it, but my goodness were those last quarter incredible. Other than the meandering plot of the book, I would like to say that I have a gripe about Abercrombie's books. The big battle scenes are the worst parts of each book. The Circle duels are great, but I have started to loathe the time a battle scene is coming. They feel repetitive and are truly uninteresting. It was at the battle in the North that I wanted to give up on this book, that's how boring I found it. Give me two random characters talking to each other instead of the battles and I'd be happier.
