Joe Abercrombie, you have got a lot of nerve ending a trilogy the way you ended this one.
Eight years ago, almost to the day, I read the first book in this trilogy and fell in love with adult fantasy. Up until then I hadn't really explored high fantasy/adult fantasy, much less from male authors.
This trilogy was incredible, there's almost as much backstabbing here as there is in the First Law trilogy but perhaps the characters in this trilogy fared better than the ones there.
Yarvi's evolution from underdog to master manipulator was outstanding.
Can't wait to read the rest of Joe's books.
