This was another great Joe Abercrombie book. Sure, as with the first book, the pace is a bit slow (although there are some definite fast-paced moments in this book) but the writing was so wonderful I just couldn't put it down. I love that Abercrombie tells us the story through multiple characters, but not so many characters that we get lost. Each character is memorable and thoroughly developed. 
 I reviewed the first book in this series here

 And will soon be posting a more in-depth review of this book:)
