Joe Abercrombie began his heat with a beginning teacher. "Blade: The first law is a fantasy without conventional heroes. The author creates a sense of realism in a world of magic, a story that could not be repaired by the big production.

In the town of Adwa, sand Glokta give ex-soldier, disfigured and mutilated, tortured after the last war, is now an interrogator and torture to extort confessions by others. Captain Dan Jezal Luthi, a pompous youngEdelmann is a good swordsman, but spent the day drinking and cheating in the game Meanwhile, in northern countries have brutal warrior, boxes Ninefingers lose everything, what to look for travel in a brutal attack in the south, Bayazid powerful magician. The wizard is an old bald man in a bad mood. Could be the first of the Magi, or it could be a scam. But it is hoped that these foreigners. Bubbles, and these people will come together to fight and former political conspiracyEvil.

The story is told from the perspective of different characters and their stories, the author finally meets. Abercrombie takes time and uses it to great advantage to create unique characters. It 'clear that the voices are the focus here. Their dialogue is full of cynicism and humor, intelligent. Your life is full of intrigue, bloody battles and magic. The battle scenes are graphic, so be warned. There's also a bit 'a curse - not a storythe faint of heart.

For several converging stories, themes and conflicts are evident. The introduction of so-called "heroes" of the second book promises an epic adventure. Worth the trip for those who love the stories and characters do not care about his characters weaknesses.
