Starting this book was a bit stressful because I wasn't sure how I would get along with the cast of new characters. I absolutely loved the First Law trilogy, specifically for its character arcs and world-building. Having to meet a new character in this book made me nervous. Once I picked the book up, however, I absolutely fell in love with the world and Abercrombie's writing style. Monza, though I did enjoy her story, did not grip me quite as much as Ninefingers and the gang. Monza's revenge story was extremely gripping and I enjoyed getting this story from a female protagonist I also love being able to see a least a few characters from the original trilogy, one of which was my favorite character in the book. This book confirmed my love for Abercrombie's writing and can't wait to start The Heroes.
