I honestly think I enjoyed this more then the original First Law trilogy. The story is centered around a 4 (ish) day battle, following the perspectives of multiple characters on both sides of the conflict. In typical Abercrombie fashion the combat is brutal, fast, and deadly, but this is so much more then the fights. Each character has amazing development and insight, lending their own unique perspectives.

Well worth a read, you could even read it stand alone and it would largely make sense.
