A very good conclusion to the series, and it reaffirms my feeling that the First Law feels less like a trilogy than one large book split into three volumes.

This is the weakest of the three, which is a shame given that it's the conclusion, but it's still very good. Abercrombie is at his best when the scale is relatively small and personal. Last Argument Of Kings spends a lot of time in large pitched battles, and it suffers as a result of that. (This is also why I think The Heroes is my least favourite of his novels). The siege of Adua is really the climax of everything the series has been building towards, but I found it a bit of a slog to get through - especially coming straight off the back of the siege of the Hillfolk fort a few chapters earlier. Thankfully the final chapters post-siege put us back into the smaller, more personal space as we wrap up each character's individual stories, and the book ends solidly after a brief dip. 

I remember being absolutely outraged by Logen's final moments when I first read this on release, but in hindsight I think the ending is both perfect and hilarious.
