At this point Abercrombie will have to write a real clanger to not get five stars from me. This one is a standalone within a known universe, however you do not need to read the others to enjoy (or hate) this one. All the usual Abercrombie moral obfuscations, wonderful characterizations, and fair amount of blood and guts are present. Do yourself a favour and listed to Steve Pacey's audio version. You will be asking the dog if he wants to go out for yet another walk...

As a stand alone, it is weaker than the First Law trilogy but the world building was good and it works as a decent if not predictable revenge story.
