Grimdark series with betrayal, hatred, black humor, and a ton of flawed characters. The black humor is the draw for me.

5⭐️ this is a political, dark, epic fantasy, and it was freaking amazing. It was violent and bloody and brutal and sad. I honestly don‘t have the words to express how much I loved it. I will, however, be a little controversial, and say, I think this was so much better than a very well-known popular book, turned into TV show that everybody‘s obsessed with. My opinion only of course. I‘m looking forward to finishing this trilogy.

“Logen plunged through the trees, bare feet slipping and sliding on the wet earth, the slush, the wet pine needles, breath rasping in his chest, blood thumping in his head.” #FirstLineFridays

I rarely focus on what a book lacks, but I am so impressed with this medieval high fantasy action book that doesn't have raping in it! I don't read a lot of these types of books b/c authors use so much rape and domestic abuse so I was blown away by this. Don't get me wrong, it is bloody, there is a lot of torture some mild racism and sexism.
Overall I enjoyed this it is fast moving and has a thread of humor throughout.

Ruthiella I look forward to NOT reading that as a plot point. 👍 3mo
ChaoticMissAdventures @Ruthiella right??? Some domestic abuse is talked about that happens off page but to not read rape scenes is such a relief! 3mo
The_Book_Ninja Yeah…Fantasy books with rape in can get in the bin 3mo
Littlewolf1 I am reading this one now… I am about halfway through but really enjoying it. 2mo

“Everything frightens me, and it's well that it does. Fear is a good friend to the hunted, it's kept me alive this long. The dead are fearless, and I don't care to join them.”

Going to finish this today. It really is a remarkable book. I see now why the ratings across platforms is so high.

“A friendship between a man and a woman is what you called it when one of them had been persuing the other for a long time and had never gotten anywhere. He had no interest in that arrangement“

One thing that no one mentioned to me about this book, is there is a current of humor running throughout. It is very refreshing.
