Balrog reviewed The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie (The First Law, #1)
Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian, has finally run out of luck. Caught in one feud too …
A par force expedition across half a continent and several loosely coupled storylines
4 stars
Good writing, about a thoroughly decadent society and extremely ambiguous characters set in it with a sprinkle of religion and history added. It's completely unclear where the story is going after having read the first book, so I'm curious how it culminates and ends up.
