Help! I just read this 630 page book - and 1600 pages all together for the trilogy - and I'm not clear on Gil's fate. Or the part about him in the Coda. Anyone want to discuss via PM?

Does it contain any mature contents? That would be spoiled a little bit, to me.

It is absolutely an adult book with explicit descriptions of sex and violence. That is what Morgan writes. It's the finish to a trilogy that would leave Conan the Barbarian gibbering in a cellar. If you can't deal with that don't open the (if I'm allowed swearing here) fucking book.

But I agree with Eric - none of the above is gratuitous and there is no glory. It's there because that's the way the world works.

Oh, and it would be useful to read "The Steel Remains" and "The Cold Commands" first so that you have even the faintest idea of what is going on.(less)

Does anyone else have the feeling Dark Defiles is really volume 4 in the series? The copy I have of The Cold Commands ends with Gil ill, collapsed, and captured by Empire mercs. Then in Dark Defiles here he is working for the empire, and many things are recalled that I never read in CC. Am I losing it, or do I have a bad copy or what?

I think you have a faulty edition of The Cold Commands itself because that's now how it ends. As far as working for the empire is considered, that plotline began in the second part of the book when Ringil arrived finally in Yelteth. (less)

This series is next on my list (I'm presently working on Abercrombie's three off-shoots from the First Law trilogy) and I'm just curious; is anything like what the cover depicts actually featured in the story? Or is it just a stylized, not representative cover?

I just finished the 3rd and figure there has to be a fourth ?

Em I've also just finished and hope for some kind of follow up book at some stage. It was sort of left open for more....a lot more!…moreI've also just finished and hope for some kind of follow up book at some stage. It was sort of left open for more....a lot more!(less)
