Rendition During Books The First Law Trilogy (The First Law #1-3)
If you're into stuff like this, you can read the full review. Less World-Building is Better: “The First Law Trilogy (#1-3)” by Joe Abercrombie “’If a thing smells like shit, and is the colour of shit, the chances are it is shit.’” In “The First Law Trilogy (#1-3)” by Joe Abercrombie “’No one likes to shake hands with the man who empties the latrine pits either, but pits have to be emptied all the same. Otherwise the world fills up with shit.’” In “The First Law Trilogy (#1-3)” by Joe Abercrombie “A soldier was dragged past with an arrow in his eye. ‘Is it bad?’ he was wailing, ‘is it bad?’” In “The First Law Trilogy (#1-3)” by Joe Abercrombie “Every man had his own special language of agony. Some screamed and howled without end. Some cried out for help, for mercy, for water, for their mothers. Some coughed and gurgled and spat blood. Some wheezed and rattled out their last breaths.” In “The First Law Trilogy (#1-3)” by Joe Abercrombie World building has always been the last refuge of the untalented when it comes to fantasy writing. If more time was spent on plot and characters, and less on GDP and child mortality rates of these 'fantasy worlds,' we'd all be a lot better off.Be Specific About Books In Favor Of The First Law Trilogy (The First Law #1-3)

Holy shit. This trilogy was incredible. I was rooting hard for an expert torturer, a murderous barbarian, a revenge obsessed bitch, a self-obsessed idiot noble and a power-crazed anti-Gandalf. What a fucking ride. If you didn't like this series you should stop reading and stick to Hollywood movies. Actually maybe just stick to Hollywood _superhero_ movies. It's not like there's any shortage of them. P.S. Glokta is my favorite. My first son will be named Sand. If Logen is yours we can probablyThis is a tough series to review as a whole - mostly since I read these books for the first time about ten years ago when they were first published. But I've read all of the books multiple times each since my first completion of the series, which is fairly rare for me to do. For me, these books were a gateway into a different type of fantasy novel that I didn't know I desperately wanted until I read them. When I first read The Blade Itself, I was so steeped in high fantasy, swords and sorcery
Pick your favorite epic fantasy, cynical just-so tale, or grimdark war story. Call it X. Imagine Joe Abercrombie picking up your copy of X, casually tossing it on the ground, unzipping, and pissing on it. "You call that grim, dark, cynical fantasy? I'll show you grimdark!" You are horrified that your favorite book/series is being treated so poorly, but you cannot stop turning the page.This is the box set for Abercrombie's first 3 books:* The Blade Itself - There's a fencing contest coming up!
The First Law Trilogy: The ultimate literary blue ball experience.In my Reader's despair, I question the purpose of art and storytelling and compare Abercrombie, Tarantino, and Kubrick in order to understand why this trilogy I loved filled me with existential rage*SPOILER ALERTS*I started out LOVING this series. Apart from the excellent writing and immersive world, I cared about the characters - I wanted the heroes to overcome their poignant struggles and I hungered for revenge against the
"Heads on spikes, eh? Never goes out of fashion."...so you can see this is classic Swords and Sorcery. Engaging characters that you're sorry to see die and liberally peppered with humorous observations. The berserker and his fellow barbarians have great names and although there are many bloody battles necessary to medieval warfare, the author doesn't stoop to pornographic sex and grotesque violence to tell a good tale.Better on second read! Revisit before going on to #4-6..."his father had been
