A Little Hatred

One of Abercrombie's great strengths as a writer is his ability to portray the tragedy that results from violence.

I always found this aspect of his writing to be particularly impactful, but recently a father, now I find this aspect is so much more visceral to me.
The individual small stories that portray loss & pain, enmity, disappointment, and their consequences - remained with me throughout the day as I read “A Little Hatred”

This book at the very least, and probably some more of Abercrombie's, exemplifies grimdark fantasy as a genre highly capable of conveying the tragedy of existence & its all to frequent end.
