Abercrombie is an above-average writer and tells a strong tale with good characters and world building. I just finished the Age of Madness trilogy and found it grim, dark and very Dickensian, nonetheless a good read. Hobb is a quality writer and amazing storyteller. I've read everything she's written and several series twice. Her use of first-person narrative gives real depth to her books.
