Grimdark series with betrayal, hatred, black humor, and a ton of flawed characters. The black humor is the draw for me.

An excellent start to the final trilogy. It includes to rerun of many favorite characters, has some excellent new characters and a lot of great action. I look forward to continuing onto book 2. 5⭐️

This is one of those books where you don't really like any of the characters but still like the story. I enjoyed the cynical, darkly humorous portrayal of war and social uprisings that start with good intentions but turn into bloody messes where many rebels turn as bad as their oppressors. Fantasy set in a medieval technology society. Only fantastical elements are seers and magi who don't do anything magical in this book.

I am closing on my first ever house on Friday. I told myself - do not buy anything more that will just have to be packed up and moved. Yet here I am. . .

A bit weary of the mentioning of industrialisation, but I still trust Abercrombie to deliver once again. Let's see, if the age of machines and fantasy can mix.

🎧 So I just finished a second listen 😁 Yeahp ... this audiobook is my kinda book. I totally understand that I stand alone & I‘m ok with it! 😁 The narrator is fabulous! Morally gray characters in a grim dark fantasy. So well written for what it is. Loved it. On to Battle Ground, the latest Dresden Files book before The Trouble With Peace. I love James Marsters‘ voice. Needed some levity before some more hilarious grim dark. 🖤❣️🖤❣️🖤❣️

Funny pick for #Booked2020 #HeadCoveringOnCover 😁 As for the book, I like Abercrombie's series, but it seems that his every other novel differs very little from previous ones. There are new heroes in A Little Hatred, but they are just like his old characters, and old ones are the same as before. The world is evolving though, scenes of social upheavals are the most interesting moments of the book. @Cinfhen @4thhouseontheleft @BarbaraTheBibliophage

Cinfhen This is by far my favorite prompt so far!! I‘ve enjoyed seeing all the different book covers 🥳 5y

WOW have I been on the struggle bus with concentration. I‘m bribing myself into (finally!) grading papers with: Grade a paper, read a chapter, grade a paper, read a chapter. And I‘m not allowed to go to bed until I finish grading a certain number of papers. How are you combatting your quarantine issues?

Gissy I'm trying to give a sense of "normality" to my home, I have candles, flowers, open all the windows in the morning. I have established like a "routine" in terms of what I do since I wake up. I used not to cook but now I do and I'm trying to do some baking. I don't watch too much tv only the necessary to keep me updated informed. Send texts to family-friends sometimes since I'm alone at home. I listen music, there are a lot of concerts on YouTube. 5y
Grrlbrarian Those are such great ideas, @Gissy ❤️ 5y

Well. The last readathon I tried was for @MrBook #litsypartyofone a couple weeks ago. I dutifully started my timer and my book. Read my first book and then got an unexpected family visit. I think by the time I remembered the timer it was about two days later. However this time I am stuck in bed in a cast so I‘ll try it again! (Never give up!). Thanks to hosts @TheReadingMermaid @Andrew65 and @jb72

gradcat Have you broken your leg? Or is that a sock? I can‘t tell for sure, but that looks like a cast to me. So sorry if it is...but the good news? Maybe you‘ll have lots of down time for the Readathon. Good luck, and I hope it doesn‘t hurt too much! ♥️♥️♥️ 5y
Cinfhen Hi!!!!! How are you holding up???? Email me.....I‘m waiting for the rest of the story 😘😘 5y
squirrelbrain Oh no, poor you! Plenty of time for reading though... 😘 5y

Emilymdxn Hope you‘re doing okay! I hope the time resting helps your recovery, and books and Litsy keep you entertained 5y
Bklover @gradcat @squirrelbrain @emilymdxm I had surgery on both feet last Friday. Only the right foot is in a cast- have to keep weight off it for eight weeks. Not much pain and my kids are waiting on me hand and foot. I‘m kind of assuming I will tire of this soon. Looking forward to lots of reading time for now though 😘😘 5y
Bklover @Cinfhen I haven‘t forgotten! I‘ll be writing you soon. Have fun this weekend with your roommate! (edited) 5y
gradcat @Bklover I‘m sorry for you—two feet at the same time—wow! But please try to enjoy the “my kids are waiting on me hand and foot”—you deserve it! ♥️👍😅 5y
EadieB @Bklover Sorry you are laid up in bed after surgery but the good thing is lots of reading time and your children waiting on you. But like you said 'could get old.' At least pain isn't too bad as pain could be very uncomfortable. Can you use crutches? Can you sit up in a chair when you get tired of laying down? 5y
Copwithabook That seriously sucks- glad you can see that very bright silver lining of reading time! 5y
MamaGina I completely empathize—I broke my leg earlier this year and was non-weight bearing for three months, it‘s not fun at all! I wish you fast & complete healing 🤓 5y
Bklover @EadieB I have a knee scooter and a wheelchair. Both from a neighbor. The wheelchair is difficult because my leg hangs down which causes pain. I LOVE my knee scooter (google it if you haven‘t seen one!). I‘m really meant to keep it elevated pretty much all the time though so I‘ll have lots of bed-time! I had a bone fusion in my right foot which takes quite a while to heal. I am sooooo glad it‘s done though!😘 5y
Bklover @Copwithabook Thanks for the kind words. We‘ll see how optimistic I‘m feeling in a few weeks! I have a bed full of pets keeping me company though❤️😉 5y
Bklover @MamaGina Oh no! So glad you have healed up! Thanks for the kindness- this is a very good time to have Litsy friends to keep me company!💗 5y
jb72 Oh no! Wishing you fast healing vibes! Years ago I broke my leg and dislocated my ankle. Two surgeries later I have a plate in my leg. The whole flat on back got old quick. I‘m so glad you are getting some read time in this weekend! 5y
Bklover @jb72 Thanks! I can‘t imagine what non-readers do! 5y
Andrew65 Sorry to hear about the cast. Good luck with the Readathon. 😊 5y
EadieB @Bklover Probably watch TV. 5y

🎧 Billed as book one in The Age of Madness trilogy but I believe it‘s all set in one world that includes two previous trilogies. This is not YA. The F word shows up within the first 30 seconds, there‘s significant blood, sex, violence and adult situations but it caught me as I love humor and there is a good collection of laughs! Awesome in audio as you hear the sarcasm! It feels a bit DND but maybe that‘s just me. I enjoyed it. A lot. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️1/3

Bklover Just started this one- enjoying it so far! 5y
Twainy I really enjoyed the audiobook! 5y
