This is a new favourite for me.
It made me feel so many conflicting emotions. It's easy to get into the characters head and while all of them are terrible people, some truly despicable, I couldn't help to care for them. They have enough that makes them human and so much that makes them interesting and complex. Also, the POVs are written in distinct ways, like one has the typical omniscient narrator that tells you how he feels, but another has this great inner monologs in italics, and stuff like that.
While everyone talks about how dark this is, and it truly is, it's also incredibly funny. The humor balances out the serious topics and occurrences really well without cheapening them at all.
There are so many memorable scenes, some of them I already went back to reread without being fully finished with the book. I also feel one could probably really gain from a reread, to have more context to certain little things and get the tiny pieces of foreshadowing.
The writing style really appealed to me, too. It sets the tone, everything said felt important or at least entertaining to me, it's quite precise and very close to the characters. Abercrombie also deliberately messes with the reader by implying or teasing something to just be like "well, but that's not what's happening now" in some cases.
I was so excited and engaged reading it, that I constantly wanted to comment on it and discuss it with people. I just ended up dumping endless amounts of voice messages on my best friend that she'll probably never listen to, but I really needed an outlet for what this book made me think and feel while reading it.
Definitely will reread it and can't wait to read the sequels.
