A Little Hatred
by Joe Abercrombie
A Little Hatred is the first in a new grimdark series from fantasy author Joe Abercrombie. While it contains characters from and references to an earlier series (the First Law world), you should be okay to jump into this one cold (though why would you, eh?).
Like many beginnings, this book introduces a large cast of characters and it does take some time to settle in and get to know them all. But Abercrombie is a talented writer who seemingly brings new characters to life with ease (seemingly because it's damn hard to do it well in reality). A few sentences it all it takes to make them breathe.
The plot is dark and windy and much of this book is setup for the ones to come, but it's an entertaining ride along the way.
