I definitely need to try a Joe Abercrombie one of these days! Haha, yes, there really is just so much to read!

If you ever decide to try one of his series I’d start with The First Law Trilogy. This series is pretty good but nowhere as good as TFL. I think this may be a little more YA. Characters and world building are still excellent (he does awesome character work) but the plot isn’t quite as good.

Good to know! =) The fact you like his writing makes me think there's a chance I might too. I have his "The Devils" book on my tbr, it looked like a nice change of pace and a lot of people said they loved it and thought it was funny. Have you read it?

I haven’t read that one yet but it’s in my TBR. If you decide to read it. Let me know what you think.

Joes books are a nice change in pace from what we typically read. This particular series is prob a 3.5 ⭐️ especially compared the other one I read. The plot in all three books was kinda predictable but that’s okay. It was still good.
I laughed a few times and I enjoyed the characters throughout all three of them.
I definitely plan on reading more of his stuff. The Devils would be next on my list. I’ve heard good things about it as well.

It really seems like they would be! And I get what you mean, still a good, enjoyable read, but not his best. Yes, I definitely will let you know when I get to it =) Good to hear you've also heard good things!
