My brother has been encouraging me to read The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie for a long time, and I’ve started it a few times and always got distracted.
Something clicked this time though, and I’m totally absorbed.
It’s also the first fiction I’ve read in a while, and I forgot what an escape it can be. What a weird thing to forget.
I've been slowly getting into this series amongst other books, up to the third in the series now.
I love how dark and mature it is, some excellent characters in it.
It's better to do a thing than live with the fear if it.
Enjoy this journey, Joe Abercrombie is so good, I loved every book in this series.
