Kevin Guertin reviewed The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie (The First Law, #1)
Review of 'The Blade Itself' on 'Goodreads'
3 stars
Not boring, but not much happens. It's not a story that stands on its own. It doesn't have an ending. Though the last couple of chapters finally saw some kind of progression. You really have to go on to book 2, otherwise you don't really have a story.
The characters are great, though. Not a lot of world building. I sure hope it improves in the next books.
