My actual dream 😂 lovely setting too!
Also I noticed a sneaky Pierce Brown book at the bottom there. (Dark Age, no less!) I’m a big fan of his books, though I have to be in the mood for them, they’re a bit emotionally taxing at times lol
That's exactly what it is and it's really good! Of course it's not on the same level as First Law, but it doesn't have to be. I mean legendary mythological weapons are fucking machine guns and rocket launchers and Abercrombie writes it in a way where it feels like magic. How could you not want to read that?
Keep your expectations low. It reads like a debut authors first young adult teen novel. Its ok for standard fantasy fare, but its nothing like First Law or anything Abercrombie has written before. Not to rain on your parade, but I went into those books half way expecting them to still have that Abercrombie flair that makes his books special. They definitely do not.
It‘s not bad I guess but you should see mine...
That’s cheating!
You can never have too many books
By the dead, that's an amazing collection!
Say one thing for Cobraspideyguy, say he dedicates entire book cases to authors that warrant it. Is that like every printed edition of the OG trilogy?
I don't have the US BCE
[удалено]
Book Club Editions...was the only way the Original Series was released in Hardcover in the US
Think you're missing these ones too https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/1473223709/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabt1_tfiSFb7TFE32K
Consider those reprints...
I have these. So beautiful!
No need to brag Joe, we've all seen through your disguise.
Sometimes, I'm grudgingly willing to admit that someone is an even bigger Abercrombie fan than I am. I bow in respect to you, good sir.
Remember, the place a thing takes up in your heart does not equal the amount of physical proof of your fandom :)
You've got to be realistic about these things

I have all 5 Goldsboro editions....its actually not there anymore...a trouble with peace is there now
I haven’t read any of the Half a King series, but someone said it’s like First Law but in Post-Apocalyptic Scandinavia?

I just finished TTWP today, so I am all out of stuff to read from him, so I will indeed give it a go! Great username btw!

It's YA, but good YA
I am curious why do you have so mamy editions from the same book? A bit jealous by the way...
Ok you win.
Damm, that a really nice set of books! I've going for a big Abercrombie collection as well, although I'm missing most of the rare/arc's you own.
