Last Argument of Kings

So I read this after finishing Lord of the Rings and geez it's probably as far as you can possibly get from Tolkien vibe-wise. Don't misunderstand though: I loved every grim, gore-y detail. The writing style, humor and characters are standouts so despite the fact that I think the plot and world-building could do with some fleshing out, I can't wait to continue with Abercrombie's other works.
