The ridiculous six

The whole package

Revisado: 10-31-21

The narration is on point the whole book. I loved every sentence. You go from hating some characters and loving others to loving ones you hated. This is something the author does so well by giving partial context to behaviors and wrapping it neatly together at the end. I cannot wait for Nona the ninth and Alecto.

Never assume you know what’s next

Only Joe Abercrombie can make you love a character then hate them in such magnificent style. You really go through a wild range of emotions while being entertained at every turn. The visualization of every moment is easy with the perfect narration. I hope there’s more in the series

The whisper yelling of the narrator

Revisado: 09-15-21

Story is good if relatively predictable. The action scenes where people are supposed to be yelling ect is super irritating. Remember when you were a kid and you’d pretend to be the crowd at a baseball game cheering for yourself? Yeah. That.

I did enjoy the few twists at the end tho!

Plots within plots and action packed

Revisado: 08-03-21

Each character has their own story and motives. You relate to them you get annoyed with them and you fear for them when the action begins. You hate the antagonists until you understand them. I can’t wait to get into the next book.

Awesome world building

Revisado: 06-07-21

I like the diversity of the characters, their motivations, and the hidden drive of the gods behind them. The opening scene is an attention grabber and right off the rip you’re invested. The protagonist is disabled and at times seems weak and infuriating at first but the longer the story moves forward the more all of the characters change.

Such a breath of fresh ai....holy wow!

Revisado: 03-24-21

I keep thinking Joe Abercrombie isn’t going to catch me off guard again. Then he just blasts through my expectations. You really should listen to the other books again before this one. You’ll forget some of the nuisances. As always I am left feeling excited for the next in the series.

Obsession is weird

Revisado: 03-15-21

I love this series. I did not love that our protagonist becomes and absolute obsessive jerk. I almost skipped some conversations because it was just overbearing. Loved the epilogue it sets up so well for the next in series. Other than Lockes compulsive need to dumb his otherwise brilliant character down this book is awesome. There are laughs and mystery that keep you interested right to the last moment.

Hard to review without spoilers

Revisado: 03-10-21

Many lovely twists and turns. The action sequences really put you into the protagonists shoes. The villains have real personality in this book. See you at book 3!

Heart pounding heartbreaking

Title says it all really. I loved the last few chapters! The fight out of Malaz city was simply stunning in ever brutal detail

I'd say it's like something great but....

Revisado: 08-04-16

It stands alone as a great story. You can't compare it to another book or style or author. Everyone's a hero but everyone's a villain. Descriptive and deeply intense in character development you get all the action without losing the people doing the fighting.
