Really enjoyable read for me and I was listening too some of the blade itself on audiobook at the same time. either Joe's writing got better as things progressed or his writing grows on you because I completely get him now. An emotional brutal book .

Definitely better than BSC. I’ve never read an action scene where it follows a character to his death and then transfers to the character who killed him. Simply brilliant. It was fun getting more character development of Shivers and Gorst. Can’t wait to read the next one!
