Most people say one thing about Joe Abercrombie: they say he is dark. But they forget that he's also damn funny. Though it has moments of brutality and violence, this collection of short stories displays the sharp, cynical edge of Abercrombie's wit.

Cavalon is a delightfully arrogant main character; the pace is quick, the dialogue sharp.

Why this book?
The Wheel of Time is a series of all time. A slog at times (most of the time, honestly), exciting at others. A Memory of Light is a dazzling conclusion. It is almost worth the 4.4 million words it took to get here.

Why this book?
Character is Abercrombie's greatest strength. Where he struggles the most, at least in his earlier books, is plot.
A Little Hatred is Abercrombie at his best: the character's are delightfully grey, the pacing is top notch, and the plot... this is one of the greatest openings to a series I have ever read.
