What sets it apart?

Fascinating, unique characters and a grimdark setting that makes Game of Thrones seem like a Disney musical.

Let us know what you think.  It's okay if you don't like it.  It's not for everyone, especially at the beginning when you don't know why anyone is doing what they are doing.

Joe Abercrombie's First Law trilogy is now out in Kindle Unlimited, for those that have the service and haven't read the books yet.  Very highly recommended.

Seconded. Pretty much the only decent fantasy books I've come across in the last 10 years or so.

Found the ending of the first trilogy a bit a 'wtf' at the time, but it fit the universe. Will need to pick this up again as I got derailed after 'Best Served Cold' which I enjoyed a lot too.

The Age of Madness trilogy (aka "First Law, the Next Generation") is even more powerful/dark/fascinating than the first trilogy.  It's presumption that a fictional society can go from medieval to Industrial Revolution in three decades is something you have to get over, though.

Will do, I am away this week but will dive into after that.

Thanks for the recommendation.
