Before They Are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie

4.0

If you are reading this, it is probably because you are not sure how the first book left you feeling about reading the second. That, or you need reassurance on how amazing this trilogy is. I will not say that this is the best series I have ever read, nor would I put it in my top 10, however, I would tell you to continue reading because there is more action in this book and more character development. More secrets are revealed and more are told. Do not let yourself down by stopping now. Glokta will preach to your inner demons, West will humble you, Jezel will teach you a lesson, Ninefingers will make your heart beat again if you haven't felt it in a while, and Bayaz will open up your mind to the wide world they all live in. Do yourself the favor of following these characters to a touch of enlightenment.
