I’ve been in a horrible book slump for weeks and I picked this up at my before bed reading. I’m sad I have to close it so I can go to bed for work tomorrow… but we’re SOOOOOO back.

Love a mysterious buddy-thief duo. The douche who they double crossed is definitely slimy enough that I feel he will come back to bite them in the ass.

So annoyed at Hadrian for taking that job! It’s obviously a trap!!!

Slow start but people say it will pick up. I also feel tethered to Alys who is a young girl trying to manage the grief and anger of losing her brother.

I really do love Flea sooo much. I really want to know what happened to her brother.

My favorite thing about a fantasy whodunnit is that it’s so hard for me to trust ANYONE, especially with only one POV.

Excited to see what happens at the ball

I don’t understand why Logen and Ferro needed to fuck but we’ll see how that develops. I’m a sick bastard so I love seeing the Bloody Nine.

Good for West for killing that useless little shit and also hahahahha at the Dogman fucking Cathil. Love that for me.

Dogman and Logen chapters still keep me going, though I am warming up to Ferro and Jezal a ton. West, too since he became the Furious!!

Jezal finally acting like a human and all it took was him getting his face ripped open, nice.

Glokta being a great villain in the way of being the most evil vile person internally. Savine definitely grows up to be his daughter, blood related or not.

Ferro is growing on me, I fear.

More from Dogman!!! Less from West and the whiny King.

Okay, Ferro is starting to grow on me.

I also swore I would never fall in love with a character from Joe but GOD Logen is making it difficult.

Jezal is so whiny it really does remind me of Leo at times. Just not self-aware at all.

Glokta is an idiot for accepting that money..

The Dogman and company are what keep me going, hoping to get to their POV.

I am so excited to see more Gorst, as I do love him dearly later in the series. Terez sighting!! Also, I really do love Logen and also the Dogman.

Glokta laughing at Jezal is so me coded. Reminds me of Orso laughing at… well. Anyways.

God, so weird seeing Ardee and Jezal. Jezal reminds me so much of Leo sometimes, it’s uncanny.

I still love Logen as much as someone can love a character they refuse to get attached to, after being burned by this writer.

I need more of the Dogman and company, though.

Logen getting to Adua reminds me of when I first moved to a big city. Too noisy and everything stinks.

Was so excited to finally get to the Dogman’s POV. I read Joe’s works out of order — Age of Madness before the First Law — and it’s actually pretty cool to read the tales of all the legends and see the easter eggs before they happen decades later.

Ardee is definitely Savine’s mother, my god.

I love Logen’s redemption arc but I will not make the same mistake I made falling in love with Orso.

I would like to see Orso put that little sveryone in their place, starting with that arrogant little fuck Leo dan Brock.

I could write an epic novel on how much I hate Leo dan Brock, which I assume is the point of good writing. He is so stupid in so many ways. God, I hope Savine helps him not be such an idiot but I imagine that’s what makes him the perfect husband for someone so malicious and manipulative.

Orso, my beloved. Please start acting like a King! I know you can do it my sweet child.

Ready for Rikke to rejoin the action.

Holy!!! God, this book is so good.

Or so is growing on me like a fungus I also adore May!! Such a good person despite her parents being a shitshow.

Leo is insufferable, even if he is hot. Jurand… you could do better even though I know you clearly love this man.

Woah, did not see that coming! Although, Savine is terrible and the second she did not intervene at the mill I was like yeah, you deserve whatever is coming to you.

I haven’t read a really captivating book yet this year. God, this has me easily hooked already.

Also… is Leo, like, in love with Jurand? Leo spending several paragraphs detailing the beauty of his fellow soldiers and best friends was certainly something! I can only recall him describing women as mean or soft-chinned…. lol.

I’m so annoyed that this book makes me want to go read the others. The flashbacks are cute but I really need to know their big secret and I pray to god it’s not stupid.

So easy to get sucked back into this world. I have a feeling Durzo is involved with the kidnapping of the “twins” just because it feels like something he would do.
