Strange, how the best moments of our lives we scarcely notice except in looking back.

i'm currently having an argument with a friend about characters from [REDACTED NAME OF FANTASY SERIES] and i need to prove her wrong

(if you know who these characters are / what book series they're from: congratulations. you're like one of 12 people on this site. to you people, there is a correct answer here. and you HAVE to reblog this. don't you want to know too)

#🦌 #joe abercrombie #the first law #EDITED bc said friend wanted to MURDER ME over the descriptions of some of them #it's better if you know who these are. if you don't that's also better

[lightaphorism]

A little treat for me; I also love when the people at the till talk to you about the books you’re buying it’s very sweet smile :)

Inspired by @zarovichs 's post, I decided to make one for (most of) the POV characters from the standalone trilogy: Best Served Cold, The Heroes, and Red Country.

Say one thing for Joe Abercrombie: say he writes fuckable characters.

#the first law #poll #joe abercrombie #best served cold #the heroes #red country #i'm sorry beck & tunny aren't on this list #there are 12 people on this webbed site who read these books #in the words of glokta: #why do i do this?

Nothing like being wanted, is there? Wanted by someone you want. Always seems like magic, that something can feel so good but cost nothing.

Glokta also really is proof that I will forgive anything in a man if he’s funny enough

#im just like ardee fr fr #sand dan glokta #the first law #joe abercrombie

[backtothemud]

On second thought, things would be worse.

Reading the series for the first time (just finished LAOK!) and this is the bulk of what I've learned, I think. That and Bayaz is a slimy, miserable little man.

Give Malacus Quai the gun, I think.

You ever read something so good that it just… breaks you creatively?

Hey, I wrote a book and would love it if you checked it out!

Intrigue and war wind together, as politics play between domestic enemies even as the armies of the Veltoi Tribes and the Tunulman Republic clash in the field. Ideals are tested by the heart’s ambition, and by enemies too pragmatic to meet in the light of day. And in Xerxia, a tragedy begins its opening act, as the deepest secret of Alchemy is sought by different sides, more ancient foes and the morbidly curious. A war beginning as raids with fire and sword may sweep into something more, and mortal flesh may develop to godhood.

It’s an epic/political/dark fantasy novel set in a world inspired by antiquity with multiple POVs, characters taking thing seriously while others can barely muster themselves to show apathy, esoteric dreams, magic swords, romance, and plenty of cultures and history to dive deep into.

If you like A Song of Ice and Fire, First Law, or the Farseer Trilogy, I think you’d really love A Promise Wrought in Steel.
