I am doing a SPOILER FREE reading vlog on the First Law Trilogy by Joe Abercrombie to answer the questions: What is grimy dark fantasy and will I like it? The Blade Itself was on my "23 books to read in 2023" list so I am excited to finally get to it, and I have heard amazing things about Joe Abercrombie!
