Last Argument of Kings by Joe Abercrombie

adventurous dark funny medium-paced

3.25

So soooo underwhelming. I honestly didn’t expect this from a series that’s so thoroughly hyped, loved and well-praised. It took me so long to finish this, a lot longer for my liking because I kept losing interest. I guess the pacing that drags then suddenly picks up is partly to blame  but also none of the twist and reveals managed to surprise me. I stayed for the characters and although I liked them, I didn’t love them.

Overall, there were many aspects of this trilogy that just faltered in execution. Sad fact, but you gotta be realistic about these things.

Final Rating:

The Blade Itself - 3.5 / 5
Before They Are Hanged - 3.5 / 5
Last Argument of Kings - 3.25 / 5
