It’s that good! It incites even the temporal laws of the universe to violate themselves!
What’s the Blade Itself all about? Ask our old friend, Homer, and he’ll give you an excellent answer: ‘The blade itself incites to deeds of violence*.’ See? Even Homer read The First Law trilogy. Just before I begin the review in earnest, allow me to say…I finally read it! I’ve had this trilogy for a shamefully long period of time, without ever touching it for reasons that elude me and defy reason! With this out of the way… You’re impressed by my uncanny ability to make up weird and frighteningly specific similes, I know. It was a thrill to go through but now that I’ve read four of the six First Law books (the First Law Trilogy and ‘Best Served Cold,’ which introduced me to one of my all-time favourite female protagonists) I can safely say, the First Law is what food is to the prisoners of a Siberian penal colony! Half a King was a wonderful entry into the unique brand of subversive storytelling Abercrombie is famed for. Once upon a time, I read Half a King by Joe Abercrombie and was quite fond of it.
