fulare 's review for:

Before They Are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie

4.5

---

I enjoyed this a ton. The characters we met in the first book are back and they are outstanding. Some are their same, fabulous selves while others experience significant growth and change. The plot and writing is fascinating. I found it constantly surprising me with the directions events went in. This has a quality to it that feels so realistic and rich. I am eager to read the next and final book.
