A review by njdarkish
The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie

4.0

This is sort of an unusual thing-- even by the end of the book, I have trouble explaining what this book is about. It's story is kind of tricky to explain because it's just a bunch of setup, really. That said, it has compelling characters, exciting fight scenes, and an interesting world. I'm really curious to see where the story is going to go, because by the end of this book it is clear that things are about to get crazy.
I'd also like to note that the audiobook is quite excellent. The reader really goes all-out with the character voices and accents, including giving a character whose teeth have been pulled out that very distinct characteristic.
