CLICK, TAP, PAIN Inquisitor Glokta, was my favorite character. I HAVE SETTLED A FEW SCORES IN MY LIFE, BUT IT ONLY LED TO MORE. He is tired of fighting, but still willing to do what it takes. Logen has been fighting all his life and he is also considered a NORTH MAN. THE MAN WHO STRIKES FIRST USUALLY STIKES LAST. Logen is a NAMED MAN, who is almost killed by a FLATHEAD. IF YOU SAY ONE THING ABOUT LOGEN NINEFINGERS AND YOU SAY ONLY ONE THING, SAY HE'S A KILLER The book starts with the action straight off. This was my second time with this book and I enjoyed it as much the second time through. Like George RR, these characters are fleshed out and you spend enough time with them, that you don't have to worry about being confused. This is a character driven story full of wisdom, blood and gore, pain (physical and emotional), LOL moments, sarcasm, sword and sorcery, cold vivid landscape, magic, twists and turns and lots of characters which are well developed. I RECKON ONE MAN'S THOUGHTS ARE WORTH AS BOUT AS MUCH AS ANOTHER'S You can trust the 4.6 rating on this book and the glowing reviews. Unpredictable, compelling, wickedly funny, and packed with unforgettable characters, The Blade Itself is noir fantasy with a real cutting edge. Murderous conspiracies rise to the surface, old scores are ready to be settled, and the line between hero and villain is sharp enough to draw blood. A bald old man with a terrible temper and a pathetic assistant, he could be the First of the Magi, he could be a spectacular fraud, but whatever he is, he's about to make the lives of Logen, Jezal, and Glokta a whole lot more difficult. His latest trail of corpses may lead him right to the rotten heart of government, if he can stay alive long enough to follow it.Įnter the wizard, Bayaz.

But then Glokta hates everyone: Cutting treason out of the Union one confession at a time leaves little room for friendship. Inquisitor Glokta, cripple turned torturer, would like nothing better than to see Jezal come home in a box. But war is brewing, and on the battlefields of the frozen North they fight by altogether bloodier rules. Nobleman, dashing officer, and paragon of selfishness, Captain Jezal dan Luthar has nothing more dangerous in mind than fleecing his friends at cards and dreaming of glory in the fencing circle. Caught in one feud too many, he's on the verge of becoming a dead barbarian - leaving nothing behind him but bad songs, dead friends, and a lot of happy enemies. Logen Ninefingers, infamous barbarian, has finally run out of luck. The first novel in the First Law Trilogy and the debut novel from New York Times best seller Joe Abercrombie.
