My first time reading any Abercrombie. I am thoroughly impressed. It didn't feel like I was reading a book. Instead it felt like I was spending time in the loves of these characters instead. I don't even think there was a plot or rather it didn't feel like there was one. The book was quite unique in that aspect. Glokta madee want to both quit and continue! I can't wait to read the rest of the series.
