Too short
A great opportunity to see a lot of familiar characters in their prime or just youth. Although some stories are pretty simple in plot, they all have that beloved First Law style and atmosphere.
It could be just a bunch of stories in the same places, for the fans, for nostalgia, but this is Joe Abercrombie. He gives us an adventure with the same character over many years, multiple points of view and even a story with chained points of view about stealing a package! And the story that is written by Sworbreck feels fascinating and fresh!
Hope there will be more some day.

Most people say one thing about Joe Abercrombie: they say he is dark. But they forget that he's also damn funny. Though it has moments of brutality and violence, this collection of short stories displays the sharp, cynical edge of Abercrombie's wit.
