Sometimes I roll my eyes over the hysteria everyone portrays around Komi (except Tadano) but overall great characters around. Also i like that there is so much insight into Japanese culture. I just love Komi and Tadano. He is always looking out for her and also him making new friends is so too cute. ...more

And to think i dnf'd the Blade Itself years ago, the whole series and Joe became my favorite of all time. The characters were outstanding and the plot brilliantly done. I am very sad my therapy sessions with my favorite characters are over and i have to go back to the real world.
this sums up this magical book for me: "People love the idea of freedom but, in my experience, there is only so much they can be trusted with."
Steven Pacey did an amazing job - as usual - with all the character voices and bringing the world to life as no other could have done better.
i just loved every single page and will probably get back to them in the future.
What to do with myself now?? By the Dead, this was fantastic!...more

Absolutely fantastic sequel and so much more . i love every character arc and even side characters are shining like they were main characters and brinAbsolutely fantastic sequel and so much more . i love every character arc and even side characters are shining like they were main characters and bring so much depths to the whole story, world and plot. So many laugh out loud moments. Also great bloody battles, political plotting and scheming as well as still giving the characters depth was incredible. Joe Abercrombie is such a fantastic writer and in combination with Stephen Pacey the perfect duo to bring the characters and world to life.
it all will come to a final conclusion in the next book and i cannot handle the fact that its the last book in the First Law World. I will desperately miss them all.
Also between us readers, its also a perfect therapy reading .. i feel like i am in therapy with all these characters and its so healing. Everyone should forgive themselves, ... After all ... no one else will."...more
Fantastic read! i love that we get the children of the First Law trilogy plus old friends i hold very dear to my heart. Times changed. The turn to theFantastic read! i love that we get the children of the First Law trilogy plus old friends i hold very dear to my heart. Times changed. The turn to the industrial revolution with all its good and bad was flawlessly done and the depiction of the hardships of the laborers gruesome but true as it was probably in our past. All the political and economical intrigue - fantastic as well as the battle scenes - masterfully done! Cannot say much else but that i bloody loved this book. By the dead, JA can write characters. There was non that i didn't felt any kind of connection. Never a dull moment. And the humor - brilliant!
Again, the Stephen Pacey as narrator was beyond amazing....more
