Me too Just have to get through Iain M Banks' new one then I'm all over this! Since this is a general Abercrombie thread and not specific to the new release, lets get the debate started! What do people think about the stand-alone books so far? Personally, I loved them both. Best Served Cold seemed to have a luke-warm reception from the critics but I thought it was one of his stronger works, and loved how he developed the themes and characters throughout the book. The Heroes was just a welcome return to the northern clans - really can't get enough of them at the minute (I blame Skyrim!) So, with the latest release we have 6 books set in the First Law universe with, apparently, 4 more to come. Too much? Not enough? I'm conflicted on this - as much as I love the characters and the setting, I'd like to see Abercrombie put his creative touch to a new setting for a change. Discuss.
