The First Law Trilogy Boxed Set: The Blade Itself, Before They Are Hanged, Last Argument of Kings : Abercrombie, Joe: desertcart.ae: Books Review: Amazing books, perfectly packaged. - This review isn’t about the content of the book, I’ve already read book 1 and needless to say, it’s amazing. However I wanted to point out that it was sealed very well, got to me with no damage whatsoever, which is very impressive to do especially when I got the express delivery. Would highly recommend this series. I originally wanted the orbit fantasy version but I’m really glad I went with this. Amazing covers. Review: Great Trology and fun to read - This is a great Dark Fantasy Novel if you're into that kind of Fantasy. Set arrived wrapped and in excellent condition with fast delivery as usual. Note that the Dimensions of each book are 12.7 x 20.32 cm, and NOT 12.8 x 23.5 cm as in the description, so the letter's print size might be small for some. Highly recommended.

A truly brilliand and thougoly interesting story. If you like dark and gritty stories where no character is the hero and everyone is characterised by their flaws, their past, and the weight of their choices, this story is a must read!

Viene da chiedersi come mai certi scrittori ci mettano dieci anni e piu' per lasciare delle serie incomplete, quando il buon Abercrombie nel giro di pochi anni ha sfornato una trilogia al fulmicotone. L'ambientazione e' un fantasy "europeo" diviso in un tre paesi (equivalenti di inglesi, vichinghi e arabi), la magia e' presente e usata con moderazione (non di continuo, ma nemmeno si risparmia sui punti mana). I personaggi principali sono di grande personalita', in particolare Logen (un berserker) e Glokta (un inquisitore), e tutti hanno un profilo morale indefinito, senza mai essere veri eroi o criminali. Interessante la figura di Glokta, che sembra la versione volgare di Severian del Libro del Nuovo Sole di Gene Wolfe. Mentre di Severian venivano evidenziate le riflessioni morali, glissando sulle torture da lui eseguite, nel caso di Glokta i supplizi sono rappresentati in modo quantomai esplicito, come a voler giustificare una violenza necessaria in un mondo duro e spietato. La storia ha un ritmo elevato, ricco di eventi e sottotrame: battaglie, esplorazioni, intrighi, e persino una storia d'amore. Molto dettagliate sono le battaglie e le scene di sangue, talvolta anche molto forti. Questo cofanetto e' un modo eccellente per acquisire tutta la serie in un colpo, e seguirla con comodita'. I tre volumi seguono una struttura classica: introduzione, sviluppo e conclusione. La particolarita' e' che la storia non e' scontata, e riserva molte sorprese, senza pero' eccedere nei colpi di scena fatti solo per tenere sveglio il lettore. La caratteristica principale della vicenda e dell'ambientazione e' un forte cinismo di fondo, che sembra prendere in giro il classico "high fantasy", riducendo gli ideali di gloria e onore a vuote velleita'. Tutto questo si risolve in un finale non gradito a tutti, ma molto ben raccontato. L'unico difetto che ho trovato nel prodotto e' che manca di una vera e propria fine, con una risoluzione inconcludente realizzata probabilmente per lasciare spazio ai sequel, che sono infatti sopraggiunti negli anni successivi.

The blade itself is one of the best books I have read in a long time. I won’t bother comparing it to others as I don’t think that’s fair. But the first accolade I read about this author was from George martin and that’s the reason I bought it. I read the song of ice and fire 25 years ago and have been chasing that dragon for a long time. Happy to say my thirst has been quenched! The writing is second to none and so descriptive. It’s one of those books that you cannot put down as you NEED to know what happens. regardless if your eyes are closing or not. Logen Ninefingers is a mix of Tell Sackett (for you western lovers) and Druss (for the high fantasy lovers). This by no means limits this character, but is only my early opinion. As you dig through the book you find just how awesome the bloody nine really is!! After finishing the first book in the series my mind is blown. If you like great writing and excellent character building these are the books you want to read. It’s my first Abercrombie book and I’ve already got the next series in my cart for when I finish these.
