This was the third and, so far, final standalone book set in the First Law world after the original trilogy. However, there are more books planned. See the second-to-last paragraph of my review if you’re interested and not already aware. I didn’t enjoy the first two standalones quite as much as the ...
I can't say enough about Joe Abercrombie's storytelling skills. I love how his characters struggle with their flaws, fighting--but usually failing--to overcome their inherent weaknesses. Red Country reminds me a bit of an Elmore Leonard western, with an enigmatic troupe trudging through the wilderne...
Red CountryThere isn’t really much to say except: if you liked the First Law trilogy, you NEED to read Red Country. I really could stop at saying just this: THE BLOODY NINE!Just like this.

I love his writing, his characters, his world, his style, his prose, his humor and his dashing rugged handsomeness. However, this book was easily his weakest offering to dat...
I don't often give books a five star rating, but I really did enjoy every aspect of this book. Right from the start I found Shy interesting and easy to read about. I know many people were surprised and put off by the Western feel of this particular book. Given the popularity of Firefly (a western...
