I really enjoyed the series and Mr Abercrombie goes onto my list of must read Authors.
After the relentless pace of the first two books it slowed a bit for the first half of this. The pace change was welcome as the threads tied together and the whole thing ended at breakneck speed. Many plot turns I’d seen way back, many I had not. Many characters back to the mud (dead) by the end and others awaiting a sequel I’d happily read should it appear. I think part of what I enjoyed about this is that his ‘heroes’ are not just ‘flawed’ but often totally bloody evil! But somehow, ‘heroes’ they are, and I loved and identified with them!
