I listened to this on my daily commute and was never disappointed. It's a violent, bloody and, surprisingly, darkly humorous tale. Abercrombie doesn't create a world with the same flair as George R.R. Martin, but I didn't think his vision was any weaker. This is swords & sorcery like it was meant to be, clearly influenced by Robert E. Howard, Fritz Leiber, Michael Moorcock and Martin and also showing the next step in the evolution of the genre. Logen Ninefingers can almost be seen as a living representation of Moorcock's "Stormbringer". He's equally as deadly and just as unpredictable. All 6 books in this series are worth reading (or listening to).
