docmartin 's review for:

Before They Are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie

3.0

---

The first book was great. This book is just disappointing.

Spoiler

Lots of stuff happens, some people mature, some people hookup, some people die but the story doesn't progress. Magi and group go on a quest and find nothing. Major goes to war, meets the Northmen and others some of whom die. Inquisitor loses faraway meaningless city and accepts payment for future service.
