This box set of paperback editions collects all three volumes in Joe Abercrombie’s The First Law trilogy:
“I definitely have to say that this is one of my top 10 favorite series of all time. It’s that good. The finale pays off all the genre-bending plot twists and crazy left turns that occurred in books one and two, and in a way that will leave you gasping.”FELICIA DAY
“For those jaded by the genre’s predictability, yet hopeful about revisiting the elements that encouraged them to read Fantasy in the first place, this might be the series … this trilogy shows an amazing development and progression, not only in scope but also in writing style … How do you top this? Recommended very highly.”Mark Yon, SFFWorld
“The First Law is, I strongly believe, a seminal work of modern fantasy. It is a benchmark sequence that should be regarded as an example of all that is truly great in today’s genre fiction. It stands way above the vast majority of the marketplace, tainted as so many fantasy works are with the lofty and portentous myth cycles bequeathed to us by Tolkien. Instead Abercombie’s work reflects today’s harsher world within its pages. This is fantasy come of age … Very highly recommended.”John Berlyne, SFRevu
“By populating his complex world with dynamic, immensely imperfect characters Abercrombie has produced a reinvigoration of the genre.”Thomas L. Martin, SFCrowsnest
“In The First Law, UK fantasy writer Joe Abercrombie has produced one of the most impressive first trilogies ever to hit the market. It is remarkable not only because of its brilliantly complex plot and characters, but also because of its fearless investigation of the dark labyrinths of the human condition.”
