The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie

5.0

The Blade Itself: I am loved this book. It was a bit of a slow start as I figured out who and what the characters are. Now, I am sucked in & every night I wish I had left more time to read it. The characters are fabulous! It's a guys fantasy. Swordfighting, a little magic, swordplay, barbarians, the fair maiden barely has any lines. A fantasy without the loves story. A bit of a cliff hanger; be prepared to read the rest of the series.
