A Little Hatred
by Joe Abercrombie
This is everything I was hoping it would be. I've been so excited for the Age of Madness Trilogy and so far it has not let me down.
📚 This is set 28 years after the first law trilogy. The Union has entered the Industrial Age, with chimneys rising across Midderland. However, the ancient powers are still present, and the poor and downtrodden workers are pushed to their limits.
✨ Review ✨
I would highly recommend reading the first law trilogy and the great leveller standalones before driving into this trilogy. You could start here but you would be missing out on so much.
Like the rest of the books in this world this is dark and gritty fantasy with morally grey complex characters, intricate plotting and a deep dive into the human condition.
One of the things I've always appreciated about this series is the way Abercrombie has slowly developed and changed this world. We have now stepped into a new age but I don't feel out of place in it at all.
I feel like I've always said how amazing Abercrombies characters are but never really said how amazing his writing is beyond the obvious of being funny. Joe Abercrombie has a very layered writing style. You could read this at a very surface level and have a blast but there is so much depth to his writing and I have to say he has moments that are incredibly profound.
But again I do have to say that Abercrombies characters are incredible. In this trilogy we are following the younger generation but we still have some of our old favourites. I love every single character even the ones I hate. I can't wait to continue this trilogy.
