Had a really good time with this book, first Abercrombie Ive read and it was so fun! Man has a way with characters, I was a bit stressed about having to read about eight (8!) separate characters and how was I gonna tell them apart but they were all pretty well rounded. Also funny as hell!

Had a bit of a hard time getting used to his humor, I dont read a lot of books with that much vulgar language (I promise Im not 12 it just never comes up in most of the things I read) but after the initial shock I came to really appreciate it, absolutely Vigga talks about her twat obviously haha

Really cool descriptions of all the gore and monsters as well, I am a bit of a horror enthusiast and this scratched the itch. Also really cool writing style in general, the short chapters + the switching from multiple POVs was done really masterfully with some repetition between characters which I really enjoyed!

Overall really fun read, looking forward to the next one!
