Description
Curnden Craw and his dozen are out to recover a mysterious item from beyond the Crinna. Only one small problem: no one seems to know what the item is.
Shevedieh, the self-styled best thief in Styria, lurches from disaster to catastrophe alongside her best friend and greatest enemy, Javre, Lioness of Hoskopp.
And after years of bloodshed, the idealistic chieftain Bethod is desperate to bring peace to the North. There's only one obstacle left - his own lunatic champion, the most feared man in the North: the Bloody-Nine . . .
Sharp Ends combines previously published, award-winning tales with exclusive new short stories. Violence explodes, treachery abounds, and the words are as deadly as the weapons in this rogue's gallery of side-shows, back-stories, and sharp endings from the world of the First Law.

A great collection of short stories showcasing everything Joe Abercrombie does best: his humor, his lovable terrible characters, the grittiness, and the ability to make the reader care about whatever happens. While I loved seeing characters from the novels again, the highlight was the short story exclusive crew of Shev and Javre who are featured in several of the tales. Apart from the stories being engaging, this has what I deem even more important for a collection: variety. Some were funny, some really tense or dark, some more character- and others plot-focused, etc. This delivered everything I hoped for as a fan of the First Law with showing extra content for the stories I love and new plots and character moments to get lost in.
