First novel since Half a War, more than four years ago. First First Law book since Red Country seven years ago, which seems hard to believe.
My most successful first week of sales to date, I’m very pleased to say – though that tends to be more a function of y.../>

“Once you've got a task to do, it's better to do it than live with the fear of it.”
― The Blade Itself
― The Blade Itself
“Has it ever occured to you, Master Ninefingers, that a sword is different from other weapons? Axes and maces and so forth are lethal enough, but they hang on the belt like dumb brutes. But a sword...a sword has a voice.
