The Blade Itself

The Blade Itself Joe Abercrombie

My top recommendation from almost any site that sells books, and three booktubers recommend it. The first in three. I know he's laying the groundwork for fantasy, who, where, time, place, but I'm about halfway and its a slog of a read, friends at work laugh when I talk about it, and say don't read a book you don't like. It's not that I don't like I just find too much worldbuilding.

It starts with Logan in a very s***ty situation fighting for his life, I'm game. I have no background, a glimpse of the word from whats hunting him. Great start. Then it falls off the bridge, and the next character Jezel is drunk, a solider for his world, and an ass. 200 pages of this guy and the politics that govern the soldiers and power in this world.
