Somehow this ended up being a DNF for me and pretty early on. I don’t know if I’ve just lost my interest in grimdark, but I just had no interest. Maybe I’ll come back to it at some point.

Fran Bobby an excellent scary looking cover! Enjoy!

Bobby Great cover, but books not hitting atm, Fran. Going to keep going for a bit to see if it picks up.


willowmoth This one has the grimdark tone/themes but leans more towards dark comedy for me personally. I highly recommend the audiobook, it is very well done and really brings the humor to life.

You’re totally right. The humor is the only thing that even got me to page 50. It felt like a grimdark Fever Beach. I was shocked how many giggles escaped. I think you’re also right that I should just go str8 audio with this one. Pacey is the best and does Abercrombie’s books so well. Thanks for the input and reigniting my interest in the book.

Fran Bobby....disappointing! Onward to snatch up a five star read!

Jonas So sorry to hear it. Sometimes a book needs to simmer on the towering TBR pile before being reread. Onward and upward! Hope your next read delivers on every level.
