I also love the world Abercrombie has crafted here. It subtlety mysterious, and it feels vast and grand in scope, which is always something I want to feel when immersed in a fantasy world.
I'm really looking forward to reading the rest of Abercrombie's works in the First Law universe. He's instantly a new favorite author.
Update 11/6/23: I keep going back and forth with this decision, but for now I'm bumping to 5 stars. It's abundantly clear I love this trilogy even more as time passes.
Update 12/30/23: Back down to 4.5. or a 4.75. idk, it's excellent just not 5 stars for me.
