A Little Hatred
by Joe Abercrombie
Actual rating: 4,5 stars
After a few rather mixed standalones, Joe Abercrombie returns with a new First Law trilogy that promises to be as memorable and epic as the first. As usual, the characters carried this novel. Twenty years have passed since the first trilogy and the next generation is now taking over. While some of our old favourites are still around, this new cast stands on its own and owns the narrative just as easily as the old one.
The world building is also very impressive and detailed, developing alongside the characters. The plot is full of action, and even during the slower scenes, it’s impossible take our eyes off the page. Abercrombie’s writing style remains one of my favourite, peppered with bits of humour that make this grimdark a delight to read. I had a wonderful time (re)falling in love with this world and its characters, and I’m already looking forward to continuing the series!
