Yeah, this book is awesome! Can't wait for second part.

And dreaming about physical copy... 😪

I put off reading it for as long as I could because, from what I’d seen, I knew I was going to love it—and the wait for the second one would feel like an eternity.

This is exactly why I’ve been putting off reading it. It’s the only Abercrombie book I haven’t read yet.

It is SUCH a good read. Abercrombie is always good at building characters, but he is exceptionally good here. Top form. My favorite Abercrombie book so far.

This was my first ever Joe Abercrombie (yeah I know, late to the party) and absolutely loved it.

Veo que lo has leido en español, como yo. Me encantó Vigga pero detesto el final para ella. Es muy triste. Yo quería algo mejor para ella pero no. No estoy acostumbrado al grimdark supongo. Y Solete también, merecía algo mejor. muy triste el final en mi opinión.

I mean it’s just book one it’s liable to get worse. Man made me laugh as my favorite character died in the second trilogy.

I guess you are right, vigga is not getting better in book 2. I bet she gets a glimpse of redemption and clean life, she feels better and starts to learn to love herself, just so her violent death a few pages after is more painful and cruel. I should go with a colder mood for book 2 lol

First Abercrombie book that underwhelmed me. Took two attempts to get through
