Last Argument of Kings, The First Law: Book 3
The First Law trilogy is true of the saying; it?s not the destination, but the journey that is the reward. All three books were so equally fantastic, that I found myself not wanting it to end. I read book three in the trilogy slowly, to savor every delicious morsel. I can?t wait for what Joe Abercrombie writes next!
Logen Ninefingers says to himself, ?I?m still alive?, again and again. Unfortunately for him it is true. He tries to convince himself that he wants to be a better person, but he isn?t able to leave the Bloody Nine behind. The Bloody Nine is a part of him. But, his next biggest challenge is not only trying to defeat Bethod, King of the Northmen, but his champion, The Feared!
Superior Glokta is by far my favorite character in this entire trilogy! There is nothing about him that I did not like. Now Glokta is truly stuck, because his master the bank of Valint and Balk, and his master Arch Lector Sulk, are in direct conflict of each other. He doesn?t know quite what he should do, because either choice will find his corpse floating in the water. Although he welcomes death to put him out of his misery, he doesn?t want to die. Glokta will find his friends to be traitors, love and companionship, and the mystery behind Valint and Balk!
Jezal dan Luthar is a wimpy little weasel of a man. Naturally, he has no clue on how to be king, but demands everyone to treat him as royalty. Not even his new wife Terez can stand him. But, with the help of the First of the Magi, Bayaz, and the Closed Council, he may accidentally be able to not only rule, but become one of the first great kings in the golden age!
