I am impressed.
I want more.
I will be reading all the Joe Abercrombie.
Greedy, greedy, me.
I feel that in previous books I've only dipped my toe into the murky uncertain water... with The Blade Itself I've just taken a running jump into it... and I've found the depths invigorating! Pha!!! No romantasy for me! Grim dark worlds, filled with morally grey characters, political machinations, and impending war!
