Last Argument of Kings succeeded as a finale because I had grown to care deeply about Logen, Luthar, West, and the rest of them. Most stories are told over a collection of several novels, and that is perfectly fine until you get to book nine out of 12, and then you realize you can barely remember what happened in book one.
Was it boring? Yes, but not for the reasons you think.
I probably read 100 or so pages before dropping the novel. You can’t review something you did not finish. So, what went wrong with A little Hatred? Well, nothing, actually. But Joe Abercrombie knows how to get to the point. Martin tends to kill the momentum of his narrative with plot threads and characters that ultimately don’t matter.įirst Law is what would happen if you trimmed Martin’s books of all their fat. Game of Thrones is amazing, but it is also bloated. I often describe First Law as “Game of Thrones, but better”. A Little Hatred is the first novel in the Age of Madness trilogy, which is a sequel to the First Law trilogy.
