Orso is my favourite First Law character now, even more so than Monza, Rikke or Glokta, who are close contenders. I love the guy, he's such a breath of fresh air in this bleak, ruthless, horrifyingly realistic world.

I'm absolutely gutted by that ending. It made perfect sense since this is, after all, a book by Joe Abercrombie, but at the same time I feel so damn hollow inside. There has to be another trilogy or something in the first law universe to come in the near future, because otherwise the very last chapter leaves a lot of new, unanswered questions.
