This book is such a great followup to The Blade Itself. Before They Are Hanged builds so much on the characters in the first one, expanding their depth while broadening the world. These books are way more character-focused than world-building fantasy and I would read about their adventures all day long.

I usually take longer breaks in between books in a series, but I don't think I can keep from starting
Last Argument of Kings as soon as possible.

This book was a bit harder to get through than the first. It dragged in parts. Glotka is still the best character and I did enjoy certain parts. Will still read book 3.
