Fantasy for the Ages<p>I finished The Wisdom of Crowds. Delicious. Loved this entire trilogy. Though I was certainly sad about one particular aspect of the end of the story. Poor guy. But he goes out with style!

Fantasy for the Ages<p>The Wisdom of Crowds, 95%: The book is landing SO well. I'm going to be sad when I finish later today.

Fantasy for the Ages<p>The Trouble With Peace, 35%: I'm again really enjoying this book. And right now, big fan of the Savine/Leo thing. Joe, don't break my heart, man. (Grimdark... He probably will...). <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/FirstLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FirstLaw</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Grimdark" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Grimdark</span></a></p>

Fantasy for the Ages<p>The Trouble with Peace, 2%: OK, I'm just a tiny bit into this book... but it's already everything I want to read. Delightful! This is going to be another fantastic First Law book, for sure. <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/FirstLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FirstLaw</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/AgeofMadness" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>AgeofMadness</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Grimdark" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Grimdark</span></a></p>
Fantasy for the Ages<p>Finished A Little Hatred today. Spectacular read. Will begin The Trouble with Peace directly tomorrow. Abercrombie was simply not THIS good when he wrote original trilogy. His voice became more clear through the standalones, and is fantastic now. <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/FirstLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FirstLaw</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Grimdark" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Grimdark</span></a></p>
Fantasy for the Ages<p>A Little Hatred, 86%: The twist between two young lovers? Totally saw that coming from the very beginning of the book. But still, quite well done. <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/FirstLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FirstLaw</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Grimdark" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Grimdark</span></a></p>
Fantasy for the Ages<p>A Little Hatred, 18%: Abercrombie is setting out all the pieces, all the various plot complexities, and it's just so gosh darn interesting. Some big stuff is coming, you can just tell! Very entertaining. <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/FirstLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FirstLaw</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Grimdark" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Grimdark</span></a></p>
Fantasy for the Ages<p>A Little Hatred, 10%: Abercrombie is back in form. Great start to this book. Skillful writing, helping the reader to easily discern the setting's time jump & societal changes, while tying in characters who we connect with the past stories. Instant interest! <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/FirstLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>FirstLaw</span></a> <a href="https://nerdculture.de/tags/Grimdark" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>Grimdark</span></a></p>

Fantasy for the Ages<p>Red Country, 93%: Just PLOWING through this final section of the book. Incredible good. I'm just hoping the next trilogy can deliver as well as these three standalone novels have, but First Law has been AWESOME recently.

Fantasy for the Ages<p>New Video: My review of Joe Abercrombie's Best Served Cold, his 4th novel in the world of First Law. Not a direct sequel to the original trilogy, but definitely connected.
