This book was really fun to read. It doesn't follow the current trends in fantasy literature. This book is fantasy without magic, for the most part, making it more of an alternate universe story set in medieval Europe. I recommend this to anyone interested in a gangster-revenge tale in a fantasy setting. I haven't read Joe's preceeding books, the First Law trilogy, but I am probably going to pick up [b:The Heroes 9300768 The Heroes Joe Abercrombie http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1284418103s/9300768.jpg 12879765], which follows this book.
