This series is amazing and he is getting better at writing with each book in my opinion. He's also writing at a good pace, so we can expect a lot of awesome books from him over the years.

I love how the books are self aware and turn a lot of the fantasy tropes on their heads, such as Bayaz not at all being who he seems, if you go in thinking of him as the typical old wizard who guides the "heroes".

Well hes a right oval office to his characters :colbert:

Just finished the First Law trilogy and holy crap, if you think Martin is too much of a dick to his characters you aint seen nothing yet.

You haven't seen anything yet. Get out of this thread and read Best Served Cold. :colbert:

Yeah. Totally. I love how she doesn't give a gently caress though, and I'd never bring it up with her.

That formula only lasts in BSC for I dunno, the first half? That's the point, she has a list of people.

Bloody Nine vs Fenris, best fight scene in anything ever?

Yup, that's why I love this brutal style of writing, it makes that scene so tense because you know anything could happen, the characters aren't protected by what seems like divine intervention.

Glokta was a good guy too, a hero, he was just totally hosed over in his service, and then reviled for it.
