Just wondered if any of you have a read any books from The First Law trilogy by Joe Abercrombie.

It is a good trilogy so far (the final book has not yet been released) and I have set up a forum to discuss the book, here.

I haven't read it, but can you tell me what the premise of it is? I always like to read new trilogies when I'm bored.
You are... Isis! ~~~ Isis was the protective goddess and used her magical powers for people in need.

Well I am nearly half way through the second one and the third isn't out yet, but so far it seems very good, lots of action and a very developed world, unlike some authors.

If you are stuck for reading material then you should get it :P

Forum Update

Joe Abercrombie (the author of the trilogy) has said he will visit the forum from time to time. All the more reason to read the books and join the forum to the discuss and ask questions to the author.

I'll give it a look. I need something to read for the next five days - vacation before back to school.
There is a sort of busy worm,
That will the fairest book deform,
Their tasteless tooth will tear and taint
The poet, patiot,sage or saint,
Nor sparing wit nor learning.
Now, if you'd know the reason why,
The best of reasons I'll supply;
'Tis bread to this poor vermin.

What? You're not at school yet?
Today was my second day.
That trilogy sounds intriguing.
I'll see if I can find it.
Look, Queezle.

An all-male cast? Sounds kind of...not my thing. Pity though, because I need new reading material.
Nothing to see here, move along.
