A review by its_kievan
The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie

dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? It's complicated
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? No
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

This book is on every single list of “Best Dark/Low/Grim Fantasy” books ever, and it deserves it. Like if George R. R. Martin was less of a nerd and had actually met a woman before.
