4.5 ⭐s. I know, I know. Everyone's on a First Law kick rn. But mention a character-driven fantasy series with morally gray leads to me and I am THERE. This first installment did not disappoint. I can see epic re-read potential for these books. And while I do love Glokta as much as the next guy, I'm kind of a Logen Ninefingers gal myself??
Graphic: Gore, Torture, and Violence
Moderate: Cursing, Domestic abuse, and Slavery
