A Little Hatred by Joe Abercrombie
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? It's complicated
- Diverse cast of characters? Yes
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

This book was well written, had good character development, great world building, developed plots and subplot elements, and a good pace... However, I just couldn't seem to connect to any of the characters, or even bring myself to care what happened to them.
It is very apparent that this author is an excellent writer, and I will read another book by him... It just might not be with this series.
I really wanted to like this book, the description puts it firmly in my wheelhouse, I just couldn't. The narrator (Steven Pacey) was not bad, but didn't really bring any emotion to the telling.
Maybe it was just me... or bad timing?
