All I can say is Abercrombie is amazing when he puts a series together it fits so well … l‘m not going to give hints as to what happened but it so worth the read. His books just flow and before you know it your done and wondering what to read next of his … loved it

This is not like other black company books it‘s different but that‘s a good thing. This was very entertaining and complex. Really enjoyed this read

I did not like this book. It was very simplistic in it's interpretation of institutional sexism, racism, colonialism, cultural genocide, and religious brainwashing.

All of the characters were one dimensional, there was hardly any worldbuilding outside the dense magical info dumping, and it was very predictable.

I expected to like it more. It seemed right up my alley but it took forever for me to get vested. There is card magic (it reminded me a bit of Caravel) and Elspeth has a nightmare inside of her and she needs to team up with the royals to cure the town and certain people of dark magic. I‘m hoping book 2 is a bit more exciting. ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Okay I loved this … but that ending I mean what an ending… I can‘t with this series… I have to find out wth happens next so yes I‘m starting the next one just so I know what is going on … you know how most of the time the second book is just a filler … well, this is not that, it‘s so much more and it really makes you think about the whole series and characters… this was epic I can‘t wait to start on the next book

julieclair Wow! That‘s an impressive cross stitch project. 👍 I love the idea of using post-it arrows to mark your place on the chart. I need to try that. 3w

Kept distracting myself with other things this past week which meant it took a little while to read this book…Even more entertaining than I expected, I enjoyed this story about Gabriel de Leon, the last of the silversaints, who is forced to tell his story to a jailer desperate to pry some very important information from him. Lots of action (and death), vampires, betrayal, adventure, love, danger—as I said, an entertaining fast paced story.

Standalone Dark Fantasy with heavy topics - colonialism, exploitation, racism, misogyny, religion.

The world-building, including the magic system, was excellent.

Two MCs who clash and get along, growing through their time together.

When you read a book by an author that can produce a story that grips you for the beginning to its end and makes you cheer for both the good and bad characters it‘s far superior to other books… there are very few authors that I enjoy, contemplate, and compare to my top 5 authors… and then move one of my top 5 down to accommodate their books, after reading this and “The Devils” books, this is now a fact. Joe Abercrombie has bumped up #5

Pruzy Just finished The Devils (5/5 stars), going to have to check this one out! 1mo
Ddzmini @Pruzy yes do it‘s great but the storyline starts with “the blade itself” and that series is what set me on a journey through his books 1mo
Pruzy @Ddzmini Ok! Good to know 1mo
