Sharp Ends | Joe Abercrombie
12 posts | 11 read | 7 to read
Sharp Ends is the ultimate collection of award winning tales and exclusive new short stories from the master of grimdark fantasy, Joe Abercrombie. Violence explodes, treachery abounds, and the words are as deadly as the weapons in this rogue's gallery of side-shows, back-stories, and sharp endings from the world of the First Law. The Union army may be full of bastards, but there's only one who thinks he can save the day single-handed when the Gurkish come calling: the incomparable Colonel Sand dan Glokta. Curnden Craw and his dozen are out to recover a mysterious item from beyond the Crinna. Only one small problem: no one seems to know what the item is. Shevedieh, the self-styled best thief in Styria, lurches from disaster to catastrophe alongside her best friend and greatest enemy, Javre, Lioness of Hoskopp. And after years of bloodshed, the idealistic chieftain Bethod is desperate to bring peace to the North. There's only one obstacle left - his own lunatic champion, the most feared man in the North: the Bloody-Nine . . .

A solid set of short stories in the First Law world and I have now read all of the current books in Abercrombie‘s universe. This was a mix of quality stories, I would average it out to 4⭐️.

A collection of short stories set in Abercrombie's First Law world. Old and new characters in his usual style i so very much enjoy. Makes me want to go back and reread all his other books. If your a fan, you'll enjoy there glimpses into the characters.

"Desperate to write, but when he sat down, no words. None worth a damn, anyway. He was not really even sure he wanted to write, just felt that he should want to." Lieutenant Kerns, Joe Abercrombie, or me?

For a while Temple had convinced himself he was a righteous man, but it is easy to be virtuous before your virtue is put to the test. Like a camel turd baked in the sun, beneath the pious crust he was the same stinking, self-serving coward he had always been.

‘Sorry,‘ said Shev. ‘Damn it, I‘m sorry.‘ And she was, just as she always was. But it was better to be sorry than dead. Just as it always was. That lesson she had learned long ago.

Raubin‘s sigh rattled to a quick stop. ‘Cut your head off,‘ whispered Never, eyes all scary-wide. ‘Pull your guts out and cook ‘em,‘ growled Jolly Yon. ‘Skin your face off and wear it as a mask,‘ rumbled Brack. ‘Use your cock for a spoon,‘ said Wonderful. They all thought about that for a moment.

I'm not big into short story collections but Abercrombie's one of my favorites.
