It's hard to review this book on its own, The First Law trilogy is truly a trilogy. Abercrombie has created a very interesting world here, and he sets up some even more interesting characters faced with some interesting challenges. If I hadn't read the trilogy back-to-back-to-back I would have been disappointed with this first book, though, as the characters never amount to much and events aren't wrapped up.
Having read the full trilogy, however, I can highly recommend it as a whole.
