A quick read, I enjoyed it, though there wasn't much in the way of depth of plot.

I enjoyed this book. The story did not go the way I thought it would, but it came full circle and made sense to me. I am not sure I agree with the premise of the story, but KSM makes a strong argument.

I think this will be next read. I haven't read KSM in years, but I remember being wowed by Icehenge. Looking forward to starting!

Wow! Loved it. Nothing I imagined or expected, and I loved the ending. Can't wait to read the next book.

I read it after putting it off for ages and I really enjoyed it. I finished it in a few days.. I didn't want to put it down. Looking forward to the next book... which I'll read... eventually.

I will start by saying that I am glad Amazon offered this book as a free selection. I would never have found it otherwise - it is so different from what I usually read, but I truly enjoyed it. From terribly sad to incredibly hopeful it's a story of pain and finding yourself again from the perspective of both parents who have lost a young child. I will not forget it anytime soon. A powerful story to me. I had tears by the end but I was happy.

Sharp Ends | Joe Abercrombie

A collection of short stories set in Abercrombie's First Law world. Old and new characters in his usual style i so very much enjoy. Makes me want to go back and reread all his other books. If your a fan, you'll enjoy there glimpses into the characters.
