Review: Half the World

Half the World by Joe Abercrombie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I liked this slightly more than the first book in the series, though it's hard to put my finger on exactly why. Certainly, both Thorn and Brand are fun and interesting characters, and Yarvi really fills out as a character too. And we get more cool details about the world. But characters and world-building were really the strengths of the first one too. I think what we get here, that was kept more in the background in the first, is the overall plot of the events happening throughout the world. The politics and scheming.

For whatever reason, I found this very enjoyable, and devoured it in short order.
