Summary
Conspiracy。 Betrayal。 Rebellion。
Peace is just another kind of battlefield。。。
Savine dan Glokta， once Adua’s most powerful investor， finds her judgement， fortune and reputation in tatters。 But she still has all her ambitions， and no scruple will be permitted to stand in her way。
For heroes like Leo dan Brock and Stour Nightfall， only happy with swords drawn， peace is an ordeal to end as soon as possible。 But grievances must be nursed， power seized and allies gathered first， while Rikke must master the power of the Long Eye 。 。 。 before it kills her。
The Breakers still lurk in the shadows， plotting to free the common man from his shackles， while noblemen bicker for their own advantage。 Orso struggles to find a safe path through the maze of knives that is politics， only for his enemies， and his debts， to multiply。
The old ways are swept aside， and the old leaders with them， but those who would seize the reins of power will find no alliance， no friendship， and no peace， lasts forever。

Loved this one， probably my favorite Abercrombie book yet （although I loved the rest of them too！）。 It had been a while since I read the first book in this trilogy so it took me a bit to get up to speed again on the names and locations， but once I did I couldn't put the book down。 Savine， Leo， and Orso were all super well-rounded characters and I can't wait to see where they go in the next book。 The only POV I don't love is probably Vick。 It's a rare book that makes me laugh out loud multiple ti Loved this one， probably my favorite Abercrombie book yet （although I loved the rest of them too！）。 It had been a while since I read the first book in this trilogy so it took me a bit to get up to speed again on the names and locations， but once I did I couldn't put the book down。 Savine， Leo， and Orso were all super well-rounded characters and I can't wait to see where they go in the next book。 The only POV I don't love is probably Vick。 It's a rare book that makes me laugh out loud multiple times！ 。。。more

Ikke helt så god som a little hatred， men jeg kan næsten ikke vente med afslutningen， det er abercrombie når han er bedst og grummest。

Fantastic read as usual from Mr Abercrombie， more twists and turns that the Amazon river， brilliant。

These are just so good。 I really enjoy the complexity of the characters and the lack of black & white on each side of the various conflicts。 And personally I find some of the characters just plain fun。

How does he do it！Perfect， once again。 Perfect story， perfect （well， far from perfect but you know what I mean） characters， perfect pacing， all twists， such （black and witty） humour！And I will never tire of saying that Steven Pacey is the best narrator there is。Nothing less of 5 stars。

The Age of Madness is proving a worthy successor trilogy to the original， First Law trilogy， this book perhaps even more so than the first of the series。 Can’t wait for the final volume and I envy those who will be able to read all six back to back。 Joe Abercrombie is a fantastic world-builder and his brutal depictions of battle are second to none！

I am so in love with this series and it has been my absolute favourite this year。 The fight scenes are so good and are from angles you never really see。 I feel like I am there and I get so completely lost in these books。 I thankfully only have to wait another couple of months for the next book， but I want it NOW！！！

Like the first book in the series， this is a great read。 Another rollicking tale of war， political manoeuvres， conspiracy and betrayal。 At times， with the main young characters， it reads a bit like a soap， albeit a vicious and bloody one， but it was one I could not put down and was totally absorbed in。 I'm going to pick up book 3 as soon as it's published - in a month or so thankfully - I'm really glad I put off reading these first two until now。 Like the first book in the series， this is a great read。 Another rollicking tale of war， political manoeuvres， conspiracy and betrayal。 At times， with the main young characters， it reads a bit like a soap， albeit a vicious and bloody one， but it was one I could not put down and was totally absorbed in。 I'm going to pick up book 3 as soon as it's published - in a month or so thankfully - I'm really glad I put off reading these first two until now。 。。。more

Abercrombie is often （and for good reason） praised for his characters and his humor。 I think his action scenes are under appreciated。 Bernard Cornwell is often （again， for good reason） championed for his battle scenes， but no one captures the chaos and the individual personalities of a melee better than Abercrombie。The midpoint chapter， “The Little People” is exactly what sets Abercrombie apart。 A major event （no spoilers） told from the dizzying perspectives of nine unique points of view—charact Abercrombie is often （and for good reason） praised for his characters and his humor。 I think his action scenes are under appreciated。 Bernard Cornwell is often （again， for good reason） championed for his battle scenes， but no one captures the chaos and the individual personalities of a melee better than Abercrombie。The midpoint chapter， “The Little People” is exactly what sets Abercrombie apart。 A major event （no spoilers） told from the dizzying perspectives of nine unique points of view—characters big and little。"Heroes are defined not by what they do， after all， or why， but by what people think they have done。"^The First Law books in a nutshell。Cannot wait for Wisdom of Crowds。 。。。more

Oh my goodness， this one does not suffer from "middle book syndrome"。 Absolute brilliance， and heartbreaking in many ways。 I can't explain why and what I love without spoilers， so suffice to say I loved it。It almost makes me wish I hadn't got it， because I have to wait several months for publication of the final instalment。。。 Oh my goodness， this one does not suffer from "middle book syndrome"。 Absolute brilliance， and heartbreaking in many ways。 I can't explain why and what I love without spoilers， so suffice to say I loved it。It almost makes me wish I hadn't got it， because I have to wait several months for publication of the final instalment。。。 。。。more

The trouble with The Trouble with Peace-Eh。I can remember reading through the First Law series way back in 2013 and not being able to put it down until I had finished the series。 With the Age of Madness Trilogy I just haven't found that same level of passion。 The Trouble with Peace has been out for almost a year， I've had it checked out for close to 7 months， and it still took me close to a month to finish it， even with a switch to audiobook half way through。 One of the main differences I can th The trouble with The Trouble with Peace-Eh。I can remember reading through the First Law series way back in 2013 and not being able to put it down until I had finished the series。 With the Age of Madness Trilogy I just haven't found that same level of passion。 The Trouble with Peace has been out for almost a year， I've had it checked out for close to 7 months， and it still took me close to a month to finish it， even with a switch to audiobook half way through。 One of the main differences I can think of between the two trilogies is that I was able to read First Law back to back to back， whereas with the Age of Madness I'm having to wait（which is a completely normal thing） and my attachment to the characters just isn't as strong as it was to the previous generation of "heroes"。 The Wisdom of Crowds comes out next month and hopefully I'll be able to jump into it fairly quick after release。 I'm hoping it'll end on a high note with some redemption for this one， which to me definitely suffered from sequel syndrome- I feel like a second book in a second trilogy has to suffer double。 。。。more

Bin ein bisschen hin und her gerissen was das Buch angeht。 Über manche Stellen hinweg fand ich es echt anstrengend zu lesen aber dann wurde es wieder extrem gut und ich habe die nächsten 100 Seiten am Stück weggelesen。 Insgesamt kann ich das Buch empfehlen， da die ganze Geschichte in eine interessante Richtung gelenkt wird und man （im Gegensatz zu den Zwischenbüchern） nicht am Anfang schon weiß wie es ausgehen wird。

More like 4。5 stars， dragged a bit in the middle but brought it back in the final act。Suffers a little from middle book syndrome but sets up an amazing conclusion。

this is a grey world， has been since the first book， there is magic in this world but very little and even that seems to be leaking from this world。 the author does a great job of continuing to build the grey cruel universe with this book。 there are strong characters， well developed and you understand why they do what they do。 thoroughly enjoyable。

La segunda parte de esta nueva trilogía empieza media lenta， me costó meterme en la historia， quizás porque no recordaba del todo la historia， pero bueno eso es ya un problema mío y de mí mala memoria。La historia arranca siguiendo los eventos del libro anterior， casi todo basado en conflictos personales。 Abercrombie nos muestra que pasa en el círculo del mundo después de la muerte del rey， las luchas de poder， y la violencia que genera eso。 Siempre nos muestra un mundo donde las personas son rea La segunda parte de esta nueva trilogía empieza media lenta， me costó meterme en la historia， quizás porque no recordaba del todo la historia， pero bueno eso es ya un problema mío y de mí mala memoria。La historia arranca siguiendo los eventos del libro anterior， casi todo basado en conflictos personales。 Abercrombie nos muestra que pasa en el círculo del mundo después de la muerte del rey， las luchas de poder， y la violencia que genera eso。 Siempre nos muestra un mundo donde las personas son reales， no hay buenos y malos， hay personas con sus demonios y sus conflictos。 Algunos buenos tienen acciones consideradas malas y algunos malos tienen acciones consideradas buenas。 Pero cada uno lucha por su propio beneficio siempre。 Cómo siempre seguimos la historia desde varios personajes。 Seguimos a Orso que al convertirse en rey tiene que lidiar con su madures y con la toma de decisiones， es un personaje que toma mucho más protagonismo y que se vuelve más importante para la trama; también estamos en la piel de Leo que nos cuenta desde otro lugar el mismo problema， ahora es importante y tiene un carga importante， vemos cómo sus valores chocan constantemente con la realidad humana， con la corrupción y con los objetivos o manipulaciones de la gente en cargos importantes; vemos lo que pasa con Savine que después de su situación en medio de la rebelión anterior quedo frágil y trata de salir adelante usando todas sus armas de negociación y su capacidad de ver cosas que los demás no ven， Savine se encuentra con situaciones inesperadas y trata de sacar el mejor provecho de todo， estos tres personajes tienen más que ver con Adua y con la Unión， aunque Leo genera la unión con el norte。 En el norte seguimos lo que pasa con Trébol que nos muestra la vida en el norte más profundo y que pasa con el gran Lobo， es la forma que tiene Abercrombie de meternos en el lugar de los norteños más brutos y belicosos。 También en el norte vemos que pasa con Rike y todo lo relacionado con el ojo largo y con su función en la historia del norte， con Rike vemos también una evolución importante y un desarrollo más profundo。 Por otro lado y entrelazado con Savine tenemos a Broad que nos une a la unión con los rompedores， los rebeldes， los anarquistas， que quieren darle más poder al proletariado。 Y por último seguimos a Vick que nos muestra como la unión trata de mantener las cosas en orden， Vick es la que sigue la parte de los practicantes y sus métodos de llevar a cabo sus planes。 Todos los personajes nos cuentan lo que pasa en este mundo desde diferentes perspectivas y entrecruzándose entre si。 Como vi en el libro anterior los personajes femeninos toman mayor importancia y son hasta más importantes que los masculinos。 Los personajes que mas me interesaron a nivel personal son Orso y Rike， creo que son los que más evolucionan y los tienen los mejores momentos。 También me gustan mucho Broad porque me hace acordar a Logen Ninfinger （que siempre estoy esperando que vuelva） y Trébol por su forma de ver la vida。 Una de las cosas que más destacó siempre de Abercrombie es como muestra las grandes batallas， ya que las muestra desde la mirada de varios personajes random que no conocemos， pero nos muestra la batalla desde el corazón de la batalla， que nada es como se ve en las películas， que hay más errores que virtudes， que todo es un embrollo y que la gente muere muchas veces solo por mala suerte。 Es un excelente libro que a pesar de haberme costado arrancar al cuarto de libro ya me costó dejar。 Ahora a esperar el final de esta trilogía 。。。more
