A Little Hatred | Joe Abercrombie
post image
Pickpick

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! 18h
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 2h

I enjoyed this! Set 20 years after the big battle against a big evil, the book series you would usually read, this looks at how the heroes are holding things together and, spoiler alert, they aren‘t. Evil is moving again, but they are 20 years older & trying to figure out what to do in a “fight” without the clear purpose of their past. You get flashbacks to understand the main characters and also The Nine, who are the original group of heroes.

Why didn‘t anyone tell me that Glokta was in other books besides the first three. I‘m starting to get into “A Little Hatred” and I‘m loving the characters and the connection to the other three books I just finished

I really liked this stand alone dark fantasy! It‘s pretty heavy, with themes of colonialism and oppression and exploitation, among other things. Definitely see content warnings.

There‘s a well defined magic system and two main characters I really cared about. There were several reveals I wasn‘t expecting, and the end was a surprise.

“‘There once was a girl,‘ he murmured, ‘clever and good, who tarried in shadow in the depths of the wood. There also was a King-a shepherd by his crook, who reigned over magic and wrote the old book. The two were together, so the two were the same: the girl, the King…and the monster they became.‘”
