This final book in the A Man of His Word series should have ended with a bang. Instead, it was barely a fizzle. A good series, but not great, and not one I would say is a must-read.
Perilous Seas accelerates the pace of the series with some of the best storytelling and character development to date.
Overall a slow read with some confusing plotlines which is saved by some good character building and the promise of the larger story forming for our two main characters.
A slow start to the series with minimal character development, I'm nevertheless giving this one three rockets because it does build a good foundation for the remainder of the series.
Slaying the Dragon is an insightful and well-researched account of the history of Dungeons & Dragons.
Blood of the Serpent fails to live up to the legacy of Conan and the vibrant world of Hyboria.
A worthy follow-up to the original Thieves' World anthology.
Shadows of Sanctuary offers readers a dark, introspective look at the city of Sanctuary.
Storm Season offers fans more of the gritty, morally complex stories that have defined the series.
The Face of Chaos continues to deliver the gritty, morally complex stories that fans of the Thieves’ World series have come to love.
Best Served Cold is a masterful exploration of vengeance and its consequences.
Last Argument of Kings is a thrilling conclusion to Joe Abercrombie's First Law Trilogy.
Highly recommended for those who enjoy a richly detailed, morally complex world filled with unpredictable characters and stories.
Before They Are Hanged is a solid follow-up to The Blade Itself.
