What a great book, perfect ending with great twists and turns and gosh some sadness sprinkled in between

3.5 stars

Felt very much like a middle book of a trilogy, but I enjoyed the character growth anyway. In fact, I don't know how Abercrombie does it but I'm perfectly happy following his characters as they walk around, even if I don't understand the big picture. He must be doing something right...

Obsessed with these characters and the dark, gritty world of The First Law.
Can't wait to read the next book in the series.

What can I say. Just as great as the first, if not better.
Can't ever look at fruits the same way again tho.
10/10

There were entire plotlines that gave absolutely nothing to the story except putting characters in certain situations to develop them.
I just need the plot to make sense no matter how much I care about the characters, so I can't give it more than 4 stars.

9/10
Loved it! Would have liked some more umph from last couple chapters to hype me up for the next book.

Still just okay for me. The plot feels pretty barebones for a fantasy series, but the character development is nice.

9/10 fantastic. While I don't necessarily say it's a perfect book. The promise of the 3rd book and what could happen is making this a fantastic read.
