Reviews

[Artavazdah · Rating 4 out of 5]

Not as good as first or second trilogy, but good enough. Definitely worth reading

[Calzean · Rating 4 out of 5]

Abercrombie can spin a story full of characters full of flaws. The greedy, the needy, the powerful, the wannabees, the guilty, the innocents and others are all in these books.
The workers are unhappy, those in power are unhappy, those in power get kicked out and replaced by even worse people and so on.
Plenty of humour, plenty of twists and turns and an ending which only shows nothing ever really changes.
