This book is superbly written, featuring vivid characters and a unique balance of elegant, thought-provoking prose with a humorous and often crass tone. As a first-time reader of Joe Abercrombie, I found myself struggling to keep track of all the characters and their allegiances, which dampened the impact of the ending. However, this is likely not an issue for readers already familiar with the world building and cast.
