I read it before I was a lefty and even then it just made sense. Even to a person without the political framework to see that, the characterization and whatnot is so good that the reader arrives at a similar place.
I tried the first book in the first law series and thought it was fine. Does it really pick up at the second or third? Or can I just move on to the standalone book I’ve heard was good?
The Shattered Sea trilogy I guess
I love Abercrombie, but I can’t finish “Best Served Cold” and I can’t read the rest of books if I don’t finish it first
Best served cold really lent into the grimdark.
Shattered Sea sounds cool.
Compared to The First Law universe, it’s for children, a nice read, but meh in comparison.
Damn that third part of the first law was so amazing
The third book of the first law trilogy or act 3 of book 1 which is entitled the first law?
Either way both ruled. The latter is where the curtains really begin to peel back and the former just hits so hard.
If you can ever find a way past the blockage in BSC, the next book is excellent and Red Country is basically deadwood.
The third book, the one which ends reavealing
spoiler
Bayaz is thoroughly fucking evil and a banker on top of it
That shit is almost agitprop

YES!

Read the second and third else you’ll be completely lost cuz the stories are very intertwined
