I'm sure some people are going to give it a diversity pass, but it actually doesn't hit the mark. When the only diversity in the take comes from extras and background characters that's a fail. The imagined world itself is pretty standard too. So no more than 3 stars for this one. Likely not reading more myself.

What a way to continue this series. Very different feel from the original trilogy but not bad. Enjoyed half of the POV characters, the other half were a little bit boring. Rikke and Orso were definitely my favorites. Everything that takes place in the North is my favorite stuff in the whole series so I hope the next book gets back up there. The wittiest written book of Abercrombie's yet, I had to hit the lol many a times throughout this read. Also a lot of the characters just got me pissed like damn you're an ass hat, looking at you Stour (Although I'm excited to see his character since he's apparently not just some idiot who wants to kill everyone, as seen by his quote below).

4 estrelas!

Aqui temos uma fantasia épica grimdark ao mais alto nível!

Esta foi uma leitura que demorei algum tempo a fazer, não por a história não ser interessante ou nada do género, mas sim pela complexidade e magnitude do mundo aqui criado pelo Abercrombie.

É um livro com personagens riquíssimas, cinzentas e densas, com várias camadas que estão meticulosamente construídas umas em cima das outras.

O Abercrombie neste livro quer que o leitor seja o júri das decisões de algumas personagens, e algumas situações em particular. O autor deixa o poder de julgamento para o leitor, ao mostrar que as personagens não são 100% boas, nem são 100% más. Têm sim variadíssimos motivos para fazer aquilo que fazem, mesmo que tenham um conflito com uma personagem que é mais do nosso agrado.

A vibe grimdark sarcástica com um toque de humor britânico encaixa que nem uma luva nesta história! Foram vários os momentos tensos que, depois de uma piada ou uma certa forma de falar, me fizeram soltar várias gargalhadas.

Se querem ler uma excelente fantasia épica, com muita construção de personagens, alguma ação e muitas intrigas e mistérios, este é o livro que precisam de ler!
