#the blade itself

[felagund-fiollaigean]

my favorite thing ever is when a book follows the pov of different characters who don't know each other, and then the moment they meet or encounter each other for the first time and you get to see one from the other's point of view and you get to see how they interact and guess how this will change the course of the story 🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰

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

‘It’s better to do a thing than live with the fear of it’ but for making phone calls as an adult.

Glokta would love emails because then he could say "this meeting could have been an email" every time they make him walk stairs

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.

Joe Abercrombie i love you. i love when you make me like a character and think they deserve a good ending and then two pages from the end of the book you go nope. this guy’s a moron and an asshole actually but somehow that only makes me like them more. i love when you show me an unapologetic dickhead and make me like him so so much and give him a better ending than the guy i thought was the good guy. and i agree. i love when you say we’re all the heroes of our own stories and people don’t want to take the blame for their mistakes and dreams are a lot better in our heads and sometimes life sucks but mostly its just cause people suck. i love that the only smart character you’ve written is a seventeen year old boy who just wants his mom. i love when you take a guy who wants to be good and just. make him kill and maim and bite because he doesnt know any better. Joe Abercrombie i love you.

#can you tell i just finished the heroes??? #can you tell bremer and finree made scream with that last scene #can you tell i was so glad craw got away and then he immediately turned around and ran back??? #can you tell i love calder and his dumb smirk??? #anyway #joe abercrombie #first law #the first law #the heroes #the blade itself #before they are hanged #best served cold #cannot wait to start red country fr fr #the last argument of kings

i love how in the POV chapters where we follow logen, bayaz and squad, Luthar is essentially a diversity hire.

Once you’ve got a task to do, it’s better to do it than to live with the fear of it.

jezal dan luthar is such a loser and I love him

#jezal dan luthar #the first law #the blade itself #joe abercrombie

[an-empty-fridge]

I swear absolutely nothing happens in the first book apart from:

Glokta trying not to fall down the stairs

Jezal being an absolute boy toy

Logen attempting to convince everyone he’s a good person

Bayaz having a silent laugh at everyone’s expense

LOVED the whole trilogy😍 5/5

glokta's inner monologue is so fascinating to me. half of the time he's staring down the barrel of a gun, waiting for the other shoe to drop, fully expecting to meet his end around every corner. anticipating his own death with all the fervor of a man who has known nothing but self-loathing and betrayal for years. the other half of the time he's being a nasty little hater. I love it.
