Joe Abercombie is back with an excellent take on fantasy meets the Industrial Revolution with all the names and characters you've grown to live with First Law, but the next generation! A fantastic opening book to the Age of Madness trilogy that tees up lovable and interesting character and starts more quickly than you might be accustomed to with Abercrombie. I liked this one more than The Blade Itself which is high praise as an outstanding debut, this is one not to miss. Gritty, fast-paced, and the usual brand of heartachingly sad and funny grimdark you know and love.
