C. Scott Kippen’s Reviews > Last Argument of Kings > Status Update

Again, great character work, but Ambercrombie books (in this first trilogy at least), are far too long for what you are getting. Also, Ambercrombie does very little exposition. Almost all of his work is done via dialogue, and although it works most of the time, it is hard to picture the world people are inhabiting. All we know is is it is dark and violent (which may be enough).
