This time I came prepared... Unlike my approach to [b:The Blade Itself 944073 The Blade Itself (The First Law, #1) Joe Abercrombie https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1284167912l/944073.SX50_SY75.jpg 929009] i knew better than to expect a closing narrative arc for this first book of the trilogy. This is just book 1 of a longer story, so sit back and enjoy the wonderfully ambiguous characters (the baddies are somewhat moral, the goodies have plenty of skeletons...) and the frazzled timeline as Abercrombie draws still from Medieval, Restoration and Georgian Industrial Revolution. If the First Law trilogy found your favour then you will love this sequel.
