The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie
5.0
Couldn't stop reading no matter what my needy husband wanted, he'll survive I suppose
Wow! I love this author's style, getting inside each character's head to feel their humanity. The last book I read this good was Lonesome Dove (highly recommend, btw). Despite the violence and the foul language, I was pulled into the story. It was devastating when some bled and died. I felt vindicated when some were about to die but rallied and killed their foe. Good show, Joe Abercrombie, high five to you. You made me care about fictional people I will never get to meet. I will be following you from now on. I will gladly help you pay your electricity bill and mortgage. It is the least I can do to be in the presence of such genius.
