dampferret 's review for:
Before They Are Hanged
by Joe Abercrombie
What an excellent book. When reading this book soon after the first, you notice a huge jump in writing quality.
No longer are the characters physical embodiments of their catchphrases and physicality, they are fleshed out and developed.
I really enjoyed this, I was given a bigger taste of the world compared to the claustrophobic character drama that was the first. That's not to say the first was bad, nor that this isn't a character drama either, but rather the scope and the events the characters react to have a wider grasp.
My biggest issue is that this book is two towered, and my emotions cannot give it 5 stars.
Time for... the last argument of kings!
