Hmmmm.....This book was the final read in the series and had to wrap everything up nice and neat.My feelings on this book are torn and frustrated. IT WAS A FANTASTIC BOOK. But did I like it....did I like the ending which made PERFECT sense.I guess I wanted my fairytale. I guess I wanted it all to co...
I'm going to repeat a bit of what I said about the previous book: I wish I had read all three books back to back.This is a case where I feel like it's not three books, just one long story divided into three books. In fact, in this book, there's at least one character that you haven't seen since t...
Where I Stand: I love this book, this series. All of it. There are a few things that I don't like and some issues but those are greatly outweighed by all the great things in these books. From the grimy character so realistically and well portrayed, fatally flawed and morally grey to the cyclic crypt...
and so the excellent First Law trilogy concludes. this was a splendid experience and certainly a hearty one as well. many things to consider and many enjoyments to be had. a full meal! and quite a bitter feast at that.and here is the Last Argument of the title, succinctly delivered by the ferocious ...
2.75 StarsBetter than the first two if you can make it that far to begin with. Ended on a dark note for everyone. I haven't read a book other than the horror genre where there is no hope for a better day for any of the characters. Dark, gritty, and still missing something (depth?) that will take thi...
Okay, this book. If I could rate it 6 out of 5, I will. It's THAT good. I swear, Joe Abercombie has a knack for storytelling. The Last Argument of Kings is the last installment of The First Law series. Here the story is continued from Before They Are Hanged, where our group of colorful characters go...
Whatever it was that Mr A withheld in the second part of his dark heroic fantasy trilogy, he brings it back with tripled texterity. The magic is back! I was left a bit puzzled at the end of book 2, Before They Are Hanged, wondering if I had misjudged book 1, The First Law – was it really that good?*...
A few nice narrative surprises here, as it turns out. Not sure if it brings everything together or not, but it's good times nonetheless.One refrain throughout is Adorno's point from The Authoritarian Personality and Fromm's in Escape from Freedom that "the vast majority of men would far rather be t...
Say one thing for Abercrombie, say he's kind of a brilliant bastard. This is the fantastic conclusion to the equally fantastic First Law trilogy and as the big reveal, it does not disappoint. We finally see the sticky, sticky web everyone is tangled in and it is glorious. There are some pretty inter...
