Before They Are Hanged
by Joe Abercrombie
dark
funny
Plot or Character Driven:
Character
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
Complicated
Diverse cast of characters:
Yes
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Complicated
Ladisla getting what he deserves and Logen Ninefingers having the situational awareness of a bag of concrete are peak.
Generally speaking I liked this book, though I really felt the first half of the book felt completely aimless at times to the point I wasn’t sure whether I was listening to a slice of life-style story, or if there was actually something the characters were working towards. However, the second half of the book really picks up and definitely was able to draw me back in. The dark morbid tone is still very prevalent, especially when Glokta is at the focus (still the best character.)
I might come back around to this book and change my opinion, but so far I think I like The Blade Itself a bit more…
