![]() This series is all about how humans can be pretty brutal to each other when it comes to chasing ambitions. Or read A Little Hatred and then read the previous books for the exploits of all the old people in this one. ![]() ![]() Actually, I would recommend to read The Heroes (2011) first. You won’t immediately see how Savine has a tongue as sharp as her father Sand and Orso an ineffectual dandy like Jezal used to be. Would this be a good place to start for a reader new to the First Law series? I suppose it is possible, but you’ll have to work a little to get all the factions straight and the references to legendary characters like the Bloody-Nine, the Dogman and Inquisitor Glokta will go over your head. ![]() He also throws a whole bucket of new characters in our faces and it feels a bit much at first, but when you discover that these are the offspring of the First Law characters then you can see the old ones reflected in their personalities. It wasn’t like that in the previous books, but I appreciate that Abercrombie is reinventing the setting. Set in the First Law world, A Little Hatred takes us a few decades into the future, to a world of late Middle Ages and the rising chimneys of industrialisation. A start of a new series! Exciting! But not totally new. ![]()
