Before They Are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie

baillie's review against another edition

5.0

Does anyone else spend most of their time reading this series thinking about how they'd make dentures, body braces, etc. for Glokta and thereby force him to become a better person and love me for increasing his quality of life, or do I just have a thing for vulnerable men?

i like that the hanging thread of the marshal's indigestion got pulled at the ideal moment. i also like that this book was marginally hornier than the last. hope the last one can pull it all together.
