- Excellent series
This is the end (but leaving room for more sequels) of an overall excellent trilogy. It did get slightly repetative at times and I really got fed up with "back to the mud" every other page but I got to like the characters and thouroughly enjoyed the series. Cant wait for it to continue.

- The entire story / trilogy... well written & superbly told
A terrific finale!

This trilogy came as close to satisfying my fantasy itch for the ongoing 'Ice and Fire' series by GRRM (well, the first three books anyway), and the incredible 'Malazan Book of the Fallen' series by Steven Erikson, as any book (series) ever has.

This final installment of Abercrombie's 'The First Law' series neatly ties up all the open ended threads that where expertly developed in the previous two books. And, it would appear, to also leave a suggestion for a new adventure in the future.

The story continues with the sequential telling of the happenings to the wizard Bayaz, Commander West, Dogman, Jezal, Logen, Ferro and Glokta. And as you might suspect, these 'individual' tales come ... Read More:

- You,ll get no argument from me , a fantastic conclusion to this brilliant fantasy trilogy .
With the first two instalments of the First law series s The Blade Itself: Book One Of The First Law (Gollancz S.F.) and Before They Are Hanged: The First Law: Book Two: Book Two of the First Law (Gollancz S.F.) Joe Abercrombie has set himself well on the way to writing a fantasy trilogy to compare with Robin Hobbs Liveship series or her Tawny Man and Assassin trilogy and The Lord of the Rings (3 Book Box set) for that matter. His contemporary sardonically edged take on the genre is refreshing as well with lots of profanity and the fact any character is as likely to get skewered by a verbal barb as by a sword ...well maybe not but it's a close thing.
The final book The Last Argument of Kings continues the character developments propagated ... Read More:

- Meh...
(Contains spoilers)
Unfortunately, a rather disappointing final novel in a series I had been really enjoying. After the first novel I was completely sold on this new, gritty fantasy lark. No poetry, maps or simple working-class orphans who find that they're actually a king....just three-dimensional characters with real contradictions and real concerns. Plus lots of violence, sex and sewaring. Obviously. It was towards the end of the second book that I started getting worried. I mean, an entire novel about a journey to the end of the world just to find out the thing they're after isn't there and they should just bugger-off back home? Unexpected, yes. Un-clichéd, yes. Lazy, irrelevant writing just to cover a few character personality changes...well ... Read More:

- Disappointing!!!!
How very disappointing that a series that builds up so well should end or (rather not end) in this way. You get to know the characters well and although there are a bit too many cliches and little hints of other peoples writing it is worth a read. That is until you get to this final book. The story continues after the final battle and although it is a nice touch it leaves you with wondering what actually has happened to the characters. I thought it cannot possible be the end as there is too much left unsaid. I searched for book four.There was so much more that could have been done but instead it leaves you with the feeling that you should not have read any of them in the first place and I will never read them again. Which I think is a bad thing to ... Read More:
