3.5

The characters were very very cool and carried the book. The world building was kinda meh, it was just like “everyone’s at war ok ur caught up to speed,” but Abercrombie did an amazing job showing different cultures, you could very easily tell where in the world that character was from very fast. It definitely makes me want to read the next one because the last action sequence made me want to read the next one immediately. Very good intro to a long series.
