A review by its_kievan
The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie
dark
tense
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? It's complicated
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? No
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.5
This book is on every single list of “Best Dark/Low/Grim Fantasy” books ever, and it deserves it. Like if George R. R. Martin was less of a nerd and had actually met a woman before.
Graphic: Death, Gore, and Torture
Moderate: Physical abuse and Racism
Minor: Rape
