But again, enjoying it, and looking forward to seeing where the second half goes. The beautiful machine may in fact be a reference to the guillotine (we have seen numerous demonstrations that the traditional method of hanging doesn't work particularly well).

This Trilogy follows an additional set of characters; some are … I think bringing back Caurib was not merited at all. Abercrombie excels at creating gloriously flawed and human characters who’s contrasting perspectives and storylines interweave to create a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts. In examining the role that spoilers play in peace processes we must first acknowledge that a spoiler is not a constant notion that acts the same and for the same reasons in every situation where peace is being negotiated. But, they chose to launch a hare-brained war, when they had so much already. Vik is highly competent. It is occurring not because of any appraisal of the facts, but out of Orso's misplaced desire to make amends with Leo's wife.   Your previous content has been restored.

Spoilers inside tend to use "strategies of stealth" to undermine the process, while outside spoilers … The hurried and incompetent rebellion has some historic verisimilitude. Lord Barezin shares some unsavoury habits with Scipio Nasica. I wonder what is left for Leo and Savine to do in the next book. Yup. Why didn't he? The Young and the Restless spoilers say Adam will make an admission that stuns Sharon, so he may tell her the whole ugly Chelsea story and hope she believes him. Though I did just read one of Abercrombie's trademark "shifting-POV" chapters which was excellent and addressed that concern a little.

I think Book 3 (The Beautiful Machine) will focus on the French Revolution coming to the Union. I think glokta knows exactly what’s happening. But hard to tell what he's going to do if there's a revolution. The real question is where Book 3 goes. currently reading, ignoring all the other posts in this thread til it's done but, I just had to run here and quote this, “Oh, Bayaz could have locked me in the House of the Maker and I’d still have found a way to attend!”. Makes one wonder what will happen in the North. All of them end the book being much more despicable persons that they were at the start of book one, and yet, you stil get attached to them. The conflicts of the past three decades have shown that the major problems which peace processes face are the spoilers. One question that bugged me. Spoilers exist only when there is a peace process to undermine, that is, after at least two warring parties have committed themselves publicly to a pact or have signed a comprehensive peace agreement. Agree 100% about the Orso part though. Two traitors just a few generations apart. I think Isher and the nobles needed Leo's name and armies. I received an uncorrected proof copy of The Trouble with Peace in exchange for an honest review. Become his puppet and get her statute on the Agriont? But that doesn't seem to comport with the one dude's statement that the Great Change is mystical in nature?

He's just such an easy character to empathize with and like. Maybe both? Next are the three stand alone novels (Best Served Cold, The Heroes, Red Country). Cunning and ruthless, but devoid of morality, and unable to appreciate that sometimes, the ethical course of action is the sensible one. If so, one would expect that there would be tons of serious gossip about the paternity of Savine's child.

I really hope he makes it out of the trilogy intact! Then there is a short story collection called Sharp Ends. p. 218 Savine, you are one cold-hearted woman. There's no one left to take on Rikke or really do anything to her other than Calder, be Jezal's 4th child and also has some minor claim through Brock. While Ava seemed to provide Phillip help that he desperately, it has come at a great cost. The first law trilogy was absolutely brilliant, but both “A Little Hatred” and “The Trouble With Peace” have somehow managed to be even better. Did we know Victarine implicated her brother (if we had I had forgotten). Still, Idk about you but  I was weirded out by those moments when she was fantasizing about abandoning/killing her father. Amusingly, the city appears in the map from Sharp Ends with yet a third spelling: "Ul-Safayn". So was that criminal just babbling or is there someone behind Pike? A nice shout out to a bit of classical history. At this point I was like homie is a REAL one. Besides, if he was in the know, why wouldn’t he tip off Savine to her impending doom with Breaker betrayal? This being Joe Abercrombie, no doubt we'll learn that Shalere was in the pay of an enemy and opened her throat. I strongly believe the circle vision Rikke saw was Logen and Shivers.

So, the men broker a fragile peace between Abby and big sister Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien). A harsh confrontation with her father, and more humiliations from Orso such as the one in the Solar Society, would have given more justification to Savine's later eagerness to fight the ones he had loved.

And now there is the second trilogy called “The Age of Madness” (A Little Hatred, The Trouble With Peace, and a third book that comes out next year). I think Glokta's method of parenting has been to make his daughter ruthlessly independent. Name says it all. Leo's path Leo surviving whilst all his co-conspirators are executed was an interesting twist. 3. The Trouble with Peace by Joe Abercrombie is the second book of the Age of Madness Trilogy, a follow-up trilogy of the First Law World Trilogy. I also don't see much evidence for Wert's claim that Bayaz has numerous opponents. Rikke, well, she surprised me, but I admire her. And her whole life has been spent in the pursuit of selfish gratification. I've missed Joe's voice. But I think you are spot on in your predictions. The Bald Weaver doesn't seem like Bayaz to me, but perhaps he's another one the Magi or even that missing son of Euz. Bayaz is metaphorically the weaver behind the scene and obviously is very very rich. Position refers to whether the spoiler is inside or outside of the peace process.

[, Shivers says that he came to Uffrith when Rikke was a baby (. His identity is also publicly known, so he is not the King Casamir of old as some had theorized.

There's too much stuff to be addressed and I wouldn't be surprised if there was a final trilogy to wrap things up, perhaps after a couple more standalones. This is the slowest reveal in the history of reveals. Abercrombie: meticulously interweaves centuries of magical-financial corruption with one man's suffering under that system, subtly unfolding at the edges of narrative. We get that indication that there are limits on Bayaz's and the Eaters' powers that could be overcome by non-magicians, but not really enough information on how that could be done on a large scale.

There's a good video interview here with Joe where he says he based Leo on Henry "Hotspur" Percy and Orso on Henry V. Had a great time reading the book. It sounds like Sharon will indeed become Adam’s ally, so she’ll keep secrets from Rey and set herself up for more trouble. Elsewhere, Adam runs into Rey, and he manages to stir up some trouble with Sharon's new husband. Did we know Victarine implicated her brother (if we had I had forgotten)? By Everyone comes on board very quickly, from Savine to Rikk (though I know she's plotting something), and I just can't believe anyone would think it's a good idea to get Stour involved, especially since he continues to be so one-dimensionally evil. In this same section, Muslan's city is spelled both as "Ul-Suffayn" and "Ul-Saffayn". None the less, it is interesting that the child has some mild claim. Sometimes I feel that Joe restricts his worldbuilding to a very limited pool of given items. There is nothing to indicate he knows that Zuri is an Eater (as we all suspect). × That and the bloody contest for Skarling's chair in the North (I fear for our girl Rikke). And I'm a guy who typically goes for the tough/ruthless characters. I think he's too hard-nosed now, to be Louis XVI. Pyke is not bald, and nor particularly rich.

Orso is now king, Rikke's long eye is driving her crazy, Leo don't fancy peacetime and Savine is … Both he and Stour are crippled, so I doubt we get any more POV chapters from the front lines of a battle. You can also find another exclusive chapter from The Trouble with Peace over on Forbes, called A Sea of Trouble. Shenkt's full name is rendered as Casamir dan Shenkt, suggesting that he was once a nobleman of the Union.

He also says that after the Prophet vanished, the priests had declared him an heretic forcing him to flee. Leo works in small doses, but I think I was having trouble with second quarter of the novel because it seemed like he had taken over the narrative. Also, not a fan of including the Shanka in the first Clover chapter, and forgetting about them for the rest of the book. But I find it hard to imagine why he would go for it.
