Joe Abercrombie is amazing, and even if this felt like his weakest book, it was still awesome. It was fun to get reacquainted with the Wheel of the World, and just get down to a good ol' medieval Western. Many old characters returned, and it felt like an easy way to re-enter the plot without needing to know all the details. The Wheel isn't a good world, and mos of the characters aren't good people, but I'm very excited to continue on with the rest of the series.
