✨ Vibes ✨ 

This is my first Joe Abercrombie book and I have to say, I thoroughly enjoyed this. It felt like a dnd campaign or even an RPG. The whole adventure from start to finish was constant entertainment. I loved that I was able to hold a connection to all the main characters and learn about their background and watch them all become a found family, despite the ending being insanely bitter sweet and my feelings are partially hurt 🥲 

The world building was detailed and intricate which helped with being immersed! I’d advise if you read this though to take it slow and have A LOT of concentration! The writing was fantastic, Joe did a fantastic job of smoothly transitioning all the POV’s of each of the characters without it actually being confusing, and I bloody loved the humour, I’ve not read many books that have made me laugh out loud quite a few times. So this was definitely a lot of fun to read. 

I also heard that James Cameron has picked this up to make a movie! I hope it’s true and I can’t wait to watch it, it’s definitely movie worthy! 

But I definitely can’t wait to read some of his other works 🥰
