The author makes the characters thrilling and even though some of them isn’t the best of people you still like them very much. Though I have one character (Ferro) that I don’t like. I think it’s more writing of her than her, if that makes sense.
Or maybe I just isn’t a fan of characters that is that intent on violence as she is. And hates everyone. It makes kind of sense from her background, but still misses some context to why she is as she is, besides what we already have been told.
Love Logen and inquisitor Glokta. Otherwise everybody is very well written.

I read the first book to appease my husband, but I will continue to read the trilogy because I want to know what happens to each of the characters! I think I'm honestly interested in finding out what happens in each of the storylines!

This first book is incredibly character and world-building focused. Wildly funny at times as well. Can’t wait to continue on with the series!
