"People love heroes, but new ones can always be found. With one finger of one hand I make you. With one finger of one hand I can unmake you."

I am shocked. Shocked I tell you that I have read yet another fantastic book by Joe Abercrombie.

There was a big gap between when libby took away my loan and when I got off the waitlist for it again, so I read the first half of the book twice and I'm glad I did so. My second reading of the first half was a lot more immersed, and I think if I hadn't done so, I would've possibly come to a different conclusion about this book as a whole.

I think one of my favorite parts of this series is that the stories are intertwined but not in a forced way. The author drops easter eggs here and there and some of them are so subtle that if you blink you'll miss em.

I have owned Red Country for several years now, so I expect to read it sooner than later.
