A little hatred series5/9/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() It’s a clear eyed look at who people really are and what they really do, in wealth or poverty, in revolution, in war. This is history in action, bloody and indifferent. And because of that, it’s the very best kind of story telling. It’s nothing less than a deconstruction of humanity. If nothing else, the author must have done some serious research into the Industrial and French revolutions to so evocatively and effectively depict this kind of terror, these sorts of turbulent times. As a result, the book reads a bit more like historical fiction. It's a sign of the times- even the big hitters are pursing influence though finance and banking instead of sorcery… The First Law world is, for all intents and purposes, our world. Undoubtedly epic, with more than a hint of magic, this is a high fantasy world with a low fantasy feel. ‘War? It’s a fight so big almost no one comes out of it well’įirst of all, this is not fantasy as we know it. ![]()
