Anybody read this series? I am very tempted to lash out on this trilogy, it's getting some good reviews on Amazon and on some fantasy sites I look at.

Feedback and opinions appreciated.

Cheers!

I have read the first two books (the third will not be out in the US until the fall, though it is already out in England - and it is reportedly mindblowingly good - damned weak US dollar and poor exchange rate making it too expensive to order from overseas!!! :-x ). Lots of fun, and I cannot wait for the third book. :) :) :)

My favorite character is this crippled up torturor named Glotka. He keeps up this funny hilarious snarky sarcastic commentary under his breath. 8) I am an extreme Glotka fan girl. 8)

Abercrombie himself is a member at the big George RR Martin discussion board, and contributes to threads about his books. He is very funny and very cool. :biggrin:

Thank you Duchess, I keep hearing the same thing about this series, not much bad press at all. Looks like some more books to add to the old fantasy library. :)
