A Little Hatred by Joe Abercrombie

4.0

---

Abercrombie only seems to get better the more he writes. This is another fantastic addition to an every lengthening l list of great books. What's really interesting to me is how he had literally put long time readers in the seat of the greybeards of his world as we see characters and battles of the first series slipping into the past as a new and similarly naieve generation rises to power. Not only do we see the dolly of these youth and their disdain for the past but we see the changing times as an abbreviated version of the industrial revolution takes hold and transforms life in his medieval fantasy world. A little hated never disappoints as the action is intense, the characters unique, and the plot paced nicely. This book even follows as nice circular pattern from beginning to end in a few character arcs. Excited to see where this goes next!
