This is a good trilogy and no amount of snobbery from /lit/ will change this fact.

It's just about as bad as a novel can get.
Horrible prose.
Exposition was anime tier.
No imagination.
Shit characters.
Boring.
Overall, the inquisitor was mildly entertaining and everything else sucked.

>he didnt like bayaz or black dow
>>7893674
I never even heard of this before but anyone with a last name like abercrombie couldn't have possibly written anything good.
Crown Prince Ladisla did nothing wrong
>>7893674
yeah it's alright
now what
>>7893695
Why would he? They weren't developed in any depth.
It's fun, I actually really like the first standalone one. That said the world building is shit.

I recall reading that he disliked the tendency of writers in the fantasy genre to focus too heavily on world building, and so he instead tried to keep his writing grounded within the characters perspectives, rather than tackling a broader, political perspective.

Those two, Jezal and Glokta were the only characters truely worth a ddamn, also the two practicals (not the fat one, Severard and the girl)
the big payoff at the end was not really worth it. Overall 6/10

Oh yea and General West was cool too, didnt care too much for his sister but she was functional
>>7893674
Glokta is pretty much the only character that I really enjoyed reading about. I could reread his parts ten times over and still enjoy it.
Also
>that pointless adventure in 2nd book
What the fuck was the author thinking?
>>7895433
le ebin deconstruction : ^ )
>worldbuilding
Dead giveaway that whatever you're talking about is more concerned with autistic shit like the correct droideka mating dance than its story
>>7895206
>he didnt like Cosca
>>7895433
An inversion of the fantasy cliche where the heroes go on a big adventure and save the world
>>7894119
That is one reason why i liked it. He didnt spend lots of time describing a bunch of inane shit like most fantasy authors.
>>7893674
Only really worth it for the torturer
