The Trouble with Peace

10/10

It just keeps getting better. Abercrombies attention to detail is simply amazing.
The repeated quotes by some characters make them all feel unique and memorable. The way characters years later start quoting each other is just perfect. Even the chapter names make me want to keep on reading every time.

Just like in the rest of the First Law World, my favorite chapters are the ones where we see the same event from multiple points of view. This time we get to see chaos and war from the eyes of the man on the ground, while the rest of the story follows the people on the top of the food chain. These chapters were absolutely perfect. It goes to show that this is a story about the characters, to the level that a character I have never heard of before and will never see again can have a serious impact on the chapter through a single paragraph.

Finally, Steven Pacey, the narrator for the audiobooks, is at the pinnacle of narration with this series.
