Novel series by Joe Abercrombie that someone recommended to me at the start of this year. Now on volume 5, "The Heroes."
It's excellent. Like A Song of Ice and Fire but without the bloat and way snarkier and more British. Anyone else here read it?
I read the first three books, didn't realise there were any more!
So I guess I should move on to 'best served cold?'

Without the bloat but also he doesn't feel the need to predictably maim or kill every character (other than the dwarf) who starts becoming someone you can root for. I found as soon I started liking someone I could almost see the angel of death beginning to materialise over his head.
