A Little Hatred
by Joe Abercrombie
I devoured this book.
I'm a huge Abercrombie fan despite the fact that I was completely unaware of this trilogy's existence. So very excited to jump back into the next generation of this world with The Age of Madness. A lot of familiar (albeit much older) faces in these pages. A lot of innovation and "modernization." A bit like the second trilogy of the Mistborn books if they'd been smooshed into the original series.
Just an all around fun read. Victorian era nobles, labor disputes, and a lot of that classic sword and sorcery flavor that makes Joe's books so fun. And of course, a lot of really well written fight scenes.
There was a long cinematic section during a riot somewhere in the middle of the book that I found to be pretty uncomfortable and tedious (I reckon it was supposed to feel the former and not the latter) and I'm finding myself pretty worn out with narrative jumping cinematic flourishes in the Abercrombie universe... so not quite a five star experience. But very, very close.
