A review by testaroscia
The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie

3.0

Trilogies tend to ask you to be patient in the second book were you are not given much of a conclusion as a set up for the third book. Abercrombie obviously has no problems dispensing with a palate satisfying ending to the first book and it simply runs out of text as the band of merry folks get on their way south. Had the writing not been so accomplished I would be a hell of a lot more annoyed. The problem is now when will I get around to the second one...
