In the shadowy corners of literature, where morality blurs and characters tread the fine line between heroism and villainy, Joe Abercrombie reigns as the undisputed Lord of Darkgrim. To dub his mastery as extraordinary would be an understatement; it's a plunge into the depths of human complexity, where every character is an unapologetic, legitimate asshole, yet somehow, we find ourselves attached to their twisted narratives.
Remarkably, amidst the moral murkiness and philosophical ponderings, I struggled to pinpoint any negative aspects. Abercrombie's storytelling is a double-edged sword – it cuts deep into our emotions, leaving scars of attachment and empathy. If there's a flaw to be found, it lies not within the pages but in the inevitable reality that after nine captivating books, the time has come to bid adieu to the captivating world of the First Law. Closing the chapter on this epic saga feels like bidding farewell to old friends, a poignant reminder of the emotional investment Abercrombie's narrative demands
