Can you pick this up and read it without having read The First Law trilogy? Yeah. Plus, the number of POVs crammed into a 470 page book was kind of overwhelming. I did grow to like them, eventually, but in some cases it took awhile and in some cases I never did get around to enjoying them. I didn’t expect them to be shining examples of humanity, I just expected them to be smarter, cleverer, more interesting than they came off as initially. I mean- when you initially hate 4 of 7 view points… It doesn’t bode well. Liked him immediately, but failed to see what his contribution to the story would be. An old warrior, dry sarcastic humor, cleverer than his betters- I got the sense he was a part of past books.īroad – Another warrior and survivor of the Styrian war. Vick – Another POV I disliked and continued to dislike, but can’t say much about here for sake of spoilers.Ĭlover – Another POV I liked at first. Prince Orso – Another whiny, spineless, gluttonous fool. Something about her viciousness came off as fake, or trying too hard for me. Savine dan Glokta – My reaction to Savine was immediate, visceral rejection. She has fits and what is referred to as “the Long Eye.” The ability to see into the past and future. Rikke – One of the few I did like, almost immediately. And while the characters grew on me in the end- at first I struggled with how very much I did not like almost all of them: We follow the lives of seven characters spread across Adua from different walks of life.
HYPERSPACE MADNESS HOW TO
I don’t even know how to tell you what this is about- mostly because it would take me too long, but also because there isn’t any strictly defined plot here. I went in with the wrong expectations, which is not really fair to the book, but that’s what I do. Which is why A Little Hatred, sort of baffled me. I always had the sense they were exciting and action packed and filled with morally grey warrior-types. His name gets tossed in with that of Mark Lawrence a lot, his books are described as grimdark. This is my first Abercrombie, and if there were any of the fantasy greats I thought I might get along best with, but haven’t read yet, it’s Abercrombie.
Here’s a review I never expected to write.
