I just picked up The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie for no reason other than it it sounds fun, I've been re-reading old books for to long and they didn't have the two books I actually went in looking for.

Regarding The Blade Itselfanathenema posted:I hope you'll tell me your thoughts. I haven't met a lot of people who read it and I'm eager to see if I'm retarded in my thoughts on it. Half way through now and enjoying it enough to read the other two books. It's a nice change to read fantasy that doesn't appear to be taking itself to seriously. The characters are a little clichéd but come across well enough. I really enjoyed the POV switch from viewing the city for the first time as Logan to viewing Logan from Jeval. I'm remaining engaged, it's certainly above a lot of other fantasy I've read but of a different style from the Jordon / Martins of the world.

Ballsworthy posted:Books two and three of Joe Abercrombie's First Law series Enjoy! They're both really good, fun reads, his next book is due out soon as well. A stand alone novel set in the same world following new characters.

I got Joe Abercrombie's Best Served Cold for fathers day, good pick from the wife that. It's off to a cracking start so far, after wading through the dense, clumsy mess that was Gardens of the Moon (book one of Malazan book of the Fallen, even the name is awkward) it has so far been a breath of fresh air.
