Where should I begin? Before They Are Hanged ended up being everything I had wished for after finishing the ride that was The Blade Itself. I am in awe of the way certain characters that are utterly unlikeable in the first instalment are developed in the second one. Jezal Luthar for instance becomes one of my favourites, after the hardships he endures, the lessons he learn and realizations he makes. But also Glokta shows more sides of himself during his truthseeking endeavors. I still get the feeling though that Before They Are Hanged is just a preparation for the utter ride that The Last Argument of Kings will be. And for that I am more than stoked. This book made everything we had a little better. The battles were more strategic and large form. The characters had more hardships to go through. And most of all, did the consequences feel even more real. I am more than excited of what's to come.
Another wonderful entry in the series. Just as dark, intriguing and weirdly funny as the first one, with a lot of little twists and revelation and great developements for the characters. I just adore it.
Starts slow but gets really good. Relatable, multi-faceted characters that grow and change in the course of the story. A special mention for detailed and really good descriptions of fights, whether it's a small band of rogues or a huge battlefield between empires. The ending is quite a cliff-hanger.
5 Stars Genre: grimdark Fantasy Wordbuilding: 8,5/10 Magic system: 7/10 Characters: 9,5/10 Emotional impact: 8,5/10 Plot: 8,5/10 Pacing: 8,5/10 Prose: 8,5/10
1.5 it manages to be even more boring than the first installment. i'm going to take care of myself for the first time in my life and dnf this series. (i'll need to unhaul three books now, ahhh
3,5/5 ⭐️
