Sharp Ends

A cool coloring-in of the happenings around events from the main books, and well-written as always, but it was tough to stay engaged. It seemed like each time I was really getting invested in each story and it's new characters, it ended and was time for the next one. Maybe collections of short stories just aren't for me.

One writing device employed a couple of times here that I thought was really neat - a viewpoint that moves with an object or logical chain of events instead of just one character. Abercrombie does a great job of quickly getting the reader into the new character's viewpoint, and the overall effect is quite interesting.
