Last Argument of Kings

Good:
Once again the Northmen viewpoints carry this book similarly to the previous entry. By far the best book for the Inquisitor Glokta plot-lines; his chapters are consistently entertaining and engaging beyond the previous two books. The world-building and historical implications bloom and flourish and continue to bolster the plot in pleasant ways.

Bad:
Certain plot-lines are setup (i.e. Jezal becoming king) that ended up being far too predictable. (Perhaps this was intentional by Abercrombie, I'm not so sure)

Ugly:
Bloody-Nine chapters get progressively more and m0re tedious. Abercrombie seems to push his tragic-hero-ness too far and it just becomes annoying and depressing to read his viewpoints. There was no reason really for him to become king and ends up mostly just being a waste of time.
