Where do I begin? I don't have to, because the story continued and expanded even further into story and legend. I can deal with multiple plot lines/storylines, as long as they relate to the others somewhat. With BTaH; each is just as valid and important as the other, and to me; cannot exist without the other. You can almost see where they will converge. The question is, who will be there when it does??
We get more character development and growth. I feel like we learned the nuance; the gray area; with each of them and I liked that. Whereas, West seemed like a straightforward character; (poor soldier clawing his way through the ranks); we see a different side to him with war at his heels. Ardee, his sister; seems to have other affinities that may or may not see fruit. Nothing factual; but definitely an inkling of something. Bayaz looking weak, or is this a ploy?? I feel like something is in the air between him and another character, and I cannot wait to find out what!
Can I tell you a secret?? I love Glotka. He is bitter, angry, remorseless, cold and hilarious! His inner thoughts keep me shamelessly giggling throughout his chapters. I think he is my favorite character; but what does that mean??
Anyway; I am not sure when I will read book 3; [b:Last Argument of Kings|944076|Last Argument of Kings (The First Law, #3)|Joe Abercrombie|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1659900550l/944076._SY75_.jpg|929012]; but it will need to be 1st QTR 2024. If you have not added the first book to your TBR; what are you waiting for??
