A Goodreads user asked this question about The Blade Itself (The First Law, #1):

I read the first 30 pages and I can't get myself to go further. I feel like the writing and grammar is too clunky and not very fluid.

And so I did and now that I finished I am quite happy that I listened to him and I followed his advice. Honestly I suggest you to give it a try, read around 100 pages, if you still don't like it maybe it is not for you. In my opinion it's a really good book.(less)
