flickering 's review for:

Before They Are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie
4.0
adventurous challenging dark tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Yes
Loveable characters: Yes
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: Yes

Continueing on from the first book and we are at war in this one. I continue to enjoy the characters and do like that there are more women in the story now given the same interiority and complexity as our other characters. I liked Logen more in this one and am still partial to Glokta. I forget the fencer's name but I'm coming around to him because of some stuff that has happened to him to make him no longer as annoying to live in the head of. 4/5
