Joe Abercrombie

[Greg_phpbb3_import1]

I liked it. It's Abercrombie and his usual fantasy cynicism. It departs from his first trilogy but some of those characters do turn up perpipherally. It's the story Monza who gets almost killed by Duke Orso and she sets out to get revenge against him and the people that helped him. Lot's of murder and gratuitous violence. Plenty of twists but plenty of things to see coming miles away.
Again, the ending is bleak, but not quite as bleak as the First Law trilogy. You can find the book here at the end of July or in the mail if I send it off to you.
