Знову ж таки, трошки більше б історії та динаміки і все було б добре.
Також, готова забрати додому інквізитора Глокту й любити його до кінця його днів.

hibaxx's review against another edition

2.0

vague, meandering plot. vague, monstrous enemies. only one main character out of like six had anything resembling character development. i don't know man. i'd be willing to like ferro and logen and maybe even glokta as characters if they were given anything of substance to do. what even was the point of glokta's dagoska storyline?

i should dnf but i have a weird itch to finish this trilogy now.

Okay, now we're getting somewhere. I really liked the developments in this one as compared to the first book in the series. I really liked the character combos in this one. West with the Dogman and the boys was a huge and delightful surprise. Logen's relationships with Jezal and Ferro were also great. I liked that this book felt like equal amounts of pay off from the first book and set up for the next one. I am very excited to start with the last one in the trilogy.
