Best Served Cold by Joe Abercrombie

4.0

What an incredible return to the First Law. Abercrombie balances new characters and a new setting while not making it feel cheaper or less than. Shivers’ arc is great and he is not just Budget Logan. The structure of the book is awesome. Abercrombie continues his masterful circular storytelling and both delivering all the plot and none of it. I will be devastated when I run out of these books so I will continue to work through them like an aged fine wine, but First Law is among my top favorite fantasy worlds and I find myself thinking about it often. Monza could never top Glockta, but she is compelling and unique in her own way and like him, you’ll never bore of her.
