    Compared to The First Law universe, it's for children, a nice read, but meh in comparison.

    Damn that third part of the first law was so amazing

      The third book of the first law trilogy or act 3 of book 1 which is entitled the first law?

      Either way both ruled. The latter is where the curtains really begin to peel back and the former just hits so hard.

      If you can ever find a way past the blockage in BSC, the next book is excellent and Red Country is basically deadwood.

        The third book, the one which ends reavealing

        spoiler

        Bayaz is thoroughly fucking evil and a banker on top of it

        That shit is almost agitprop

          I read it before I was a lefty and even then it just made sense. Even to a person without the political framework to see that, the characterization and whatnot is so good that the reader arrives at a similar place.

      I tried the first book in the first law series and thought it was fine. Does it really pick up at the second or third? Or can I just move on to the standalone book I've heard was good?

        Read the second and third else you'll be completely lost cuz the stories are very intertwined
