Summary

From New York Times bestselling author Joe Abercrombie comes the first book in a new blockbuster fantasy trilogy where the age of the machine dawns， but the age of magic refuses to die。
The chimneys of industry rise over Adua and the world seethes with new opportunities。 But old scores run deep as ever。
On the blood-soaked borders of Angland， Leo dan Brock struggles to win fame on the battlefield， and defeat the marauding armies of Stour Nightfall。 He hopes for help from the crown。 But King Jezal's son， the feckless Prince Orso， is a man who specializes in disappointments。
Savine dan Glokta - socialite， investor， and daughter of the most feared man in the Union - plans to claw her way to the top of the slag-heap of society by any means necessary。 But the slums boil over with a rage that all the money in the world cannot control。
The age of the machine dawns， but the age of magic refuses to die。 With the help of the mad hillwoman Isern-i-Phail， Rikke struggles to control the blessing， or the curse， of the Long Eye。 Glimpsing the future is one thing， but with the guiding hand of the First of the Magi still pulling the strings， changing it will be quite another。。。

Sabe a poco para ser una pieza forjada en la negra y sucia factoría Abercrombie。 El libro huele a historia ya contada， y lo que es peor， contada de mejor forma。 ¿700 páginas para narrar una insurrección proletaria en una ciudad perdida de "Midderland"？ ¿Cuántas guerras en el Norte llevamos， 3 o 4？ Y lo peor no es la falta de novedad， ni tampoco la repetición de esquemas， sino la debilidad de la propuesta。Se plantea una Revolución Industrial para el "Círculo del Mundo"， de forma análoga a lo que Sabe a poco para ser una pieza forjada en la negra y sucia factoría Abercrombie。 El libro huele a historia ya contada， y lo que es peor， contada de mejor forma。 ¿700 páginas para narrar una insurrección proletaria en una ciudad perdida de "Midderland"？ ¿Cuántas guerras en el Norte llevamos， 3 o 4？ Y lo peor no es la falta de novedad， ni tampoco la repetición de esquemas， sino la debilidad de la propuesta。Se plantea una Revolución Industrial para el "Círculo del Mundo"， de forma análoga a lo que está haciendo Brandon Sanderson con "Scadrial"， con todos sus ingredientes: avance tecnológico， explosión demográfica， gentuza explotadora， y， por supuesto， las lógicas fricciones sociales inherentes al desarrollo desigual que acaban desembocando en levantamientos proletarios y conatos de revolución。 Ni Sanderson ni Abercrombie me han convenido en esta faceta， ni en planteamiento ni en ejecución。 Si queréis literatura de género que aborde la conflictividad social leed a China Miéville y su trilogía "Bas-Lag"。 Está a años luz del resto。 Un querer y no poder alcanzar a glorias pasadas。 Las primeras 300 páginas de "Un poco de odio" son dolorosamente insustanciales， muy orientadas a un desarrollo de los personajes que ocupa demasiadas hojas; a ello añádele que durante las primeras 100 hay bastantes referencias a la trilogía "La Primera Ley"， lo que puede generar cierto desconcierto y desconexión por falta de contexto。 Unos personajes que， si bien son interesantes y enganchan （Orso， especialmente）， no dejan de cumplir uno por uno los tópicos del género en cuanto a caracterización。 Buenos diálogos， sí， algunos capítulos de acción meritorios， también， pero todo hiede a refrito， a revitalización forzada。 Un primer libro que de no tener estampado el nombre de Abercrombie en la solapa no despertaría absolutamente nada en el panorama fantástico。 Pasaría sin pena ni gloria， vamos。Mucho tiene que mejorar con "El Problema de la Paz"， novela que obviamente leeré porque para mí el autor británico tiene mucho crédito y no voy a defenestrarlo por un tomo que， entiendo y de forma parcial excuso， peca obscenamente de iniciático， algo que ya sucedió， aunque en menor grado， con "La voz de las espadas"， y que luego terminó ofrendando una trilogía para el recuerdo。Por cierto， para escribir "Grimdark" no hace falta pulverizar al lector con los "joder"， "hijo de puta" o "cabronazo"。 No aportan oscuridad， ni confieren a la obra un carácter rudo y maduro。 Al revés， generan una atmósfera infantil que en ningún caso favorece a autores que， como Abercrombie， encarnan la literatura fantástica para adultos。El libro tiene virtudes， naturalmente， al fin y al cabo es una creación de uno de los maestros， pero he preferido centrarme en los aspectos negativos。 La ironía desbocada， los diálogos ágiles y mordaces， las reflexiones y la crítica social， escenas de acción， tensión narrativa （el duelo del Círculo es soberbio， aunque previsible） y violencia cruda。 En fin， todo está aquí condensado， pero sin brillantez memorable。 La nota son 3，25 estrellas。 Calificación que nunca pensé que le daría a un libro de Abercrombie， pero bueno， al final todos volvemos al barro， lugar que sin duda ocupa este "Un poco de odio" en mi ránking personal del autor。 。。。more

I’m not sure you can miss a book。 I’m certain you can’t miss a book you haven’t read but that was precisely the feeling I had within a few pages of A Little Hatred。The book takes the world as it was at the end of the last series， adds a few decades and some coal， and builds on it。 There is a new generation of characters， some of their parents， and references back to what had happened in the past。 There are twists。 There’s violence。 There are flawed characters aplenty and a biting takedown both o I’m not sure you can miss a book。 I’m certain you can’t miss a book you haven’t read but that was precisely the feeling I had within a few pages of A Little Hatred。The book takes the world as it was at the end of the last series， adds a few decades and some coal， and builds on it。 There is a new generation of characters， some of their parents， and references back to what had happened in the past。 There are twists。 There’s violence。 There are flawed characters aplenty and a biting takedown both of capitalism and the consequences of revolution。 The text is clean and easy to read and， impressively， the use of each character’s ‘voice’ is not just limited to their speech but to the entirety of the text when it is their turn on the page。 And there is the rolling point of view Abercrombie does so well – when the protagonist of one section merges seamlessly into the protagonist of the next。 （Seen best here when the revolution bites and one character’s actions knock on to the next’s in the subsequent paragraphs。）All in all， this is a great book。 The writing combines grit and glory， humour and horror， beautiful and bitter observations on life and all other manner of alliterating adjectives。As with my review of The Once and Future Witches by Alix E Harrow， I appreciate that this is not a ‘balanced， critical’ review but I don’t see the point of adding criticism for the sake of it。That said， I have one issue。 I think I missed some of the jokes and references because it’s been so long since I read the First Law books and the stand-alones。 The solution？ Get the rest of the series and reread from The Blade Itself forwards。Reckon the books deserve it。 。。。more

This book was excellent！ Darkly funny and sad with brilliant action。 Brilliantly paced。

This book was a little slower then i am used to from Abercrombie， a bit more of the city life and the revolution going on， and less of the people of the north。 But again he delivers big and Abercrombie has been crazy consistent with this series。 On with book two of the new trilogy ！

Although I'm not as attached to these characters as well as I was the characters from the original First Law trilogy， it was interesting to meet the next generation。 Savine， Leo， Orso， and Rikke all held my interest through the story。 Clover had his moments here and there （especially at the end）。 Broad has an interesting struggle， but didn't feel consequential to the plot right now， though I'm sure he's being set up for a larger role later in the trilogy。 Vick was an important character in terms Although I'm not as attached to these characters as well as I was the characters from the original First Law trilogy， it was interesting to meet the next generation。 Savine， Leo， Orso， and Rikke all held my interest through the story。 Clover had his moments here and there （especially at the end）。 Broad has an interesting struggle， but didn't feel consequential to the plot right now， though I'm sure he's being set up for a larger role later in the trilogy。 Vick was an important character in terms of giving us a perspective into certain scenes we couldn't have otherwise viewed， but I don't care about her one way or another。Regarding characters， Abercrombie always does a great job at showing shades of grey。 I don't always agree with the decisions that these characters make （Clover in particular is a self-serving bastard） but they always feel true to themselves。The setting is another draw for this series so far。 It will be fun to see how the Industrial Era changes things for this world， and whether the riots of the common people will continue to cause trouble for the nobles （who are a large portion of our POV characters）。 Abercrombie did a good job at weaving character work with plot。 His debut novel， The Blade Itself， is known for not really introducing much plot at all。 Compared to that， there is a lot going on in this book， considering that it is the first in a trilogy， for our characters to deal with。 This does， I believe， add to the reason I think some of the characters are weaker， since an author can only fit so much within 460ish pages。 However， as I said， enough characters were strong that I'm willing to be patient on those that don't feel important at the moment。Lastly， this is a series I'm not sure I recommend to everyone。 I think it works best for those who have already read the First Law trilogy。 Several main characters from First Law appear in secondary roles within this book。 Since they've been fully developed in previous books， Abercrombie didn't re-introduce them here。 Readers who haven't met these characters yet will probably find them underdeveloped， and might even forget who they are when they appear once within the first 100 pages， and not again until the final few chapters。 I don't think this will be a huge hinderance， as the meat of the story stands wholly alone， but I could see it becoming a lot of random names to juggle around， instead of the more gradual introduction that exists for seasoned fans of this universe。Rating: 8/10 。。。more

Another great fantasy novel from Abercrombie。This time the story is set against the backdrop of a worker's rights conflict。 The medieval-like society of Abercrombie's universe is being industrialized， and the workers are sick of being treated like crap。 But the people in charge have other concerns。 You know how it is。 As usual with Abercrombie he spends a lot of time on his characters。 This causes the plot to move a bit slow， but I find the dialogues funny and well-written so I thoroughly enjoy Another great fantasy novel from Abercrombie。This time the story is set against the backdrop of a worker's rights conflict。 The medieval-like society of Abercrombie's universe is being industrialized， and the workers are sick of being treated like crap。 But the people in charge have other concerns。 You know how it is。 As usual with Abercrombie he spends a lot of time on his characters。 This causes the plot to move a bit slow， but I find the dialogues funny and well-written so I thoroughly enjoy every bit of this book。 。。。more

I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to read a well-developed， complex story without having to sacrifice the women characters in order to do so。 The majority of the main characters it follows are women and never once did I feel that a woman was being used as an object or prop for a male character。 Arguably， the women in this book are the strongest of all the characters， both in development as well as physical and emotional。 We even get to see some older， experienced， wise women who are still I’d recommend this to anyone who wants to read a well-developed， complex story without having to sacrifice the women characters in order to do so。 The majority of the main characters it follows are women and never once did I feel that a woman was being used as an object or prop for a male character。 Arguably， the women in this book are the strongest of all the characters， both in development as well as physical and emotional。 We even get to see some older， experienced， wise women who are still strong despite the usually expected restrictions of age。The women are complex without the requirement of femininity to define their womanhood and have motives beyond what you normally see written by or women in fantasy。 Yes， love is nice， but they all have ambitions far beyond finding husbands that drive their characters and shape their arcs。And the men are allowed to be “prissy” or foolish or cowardice while maintaining a character beyond “the fool，” while also treading the line between cowardice of privilege and the bravery asked of them in fantasyThat being said， I would not recommend this to an inexperienced reader; or， more than likely， as someone’s first Joe Abercrombie book （like myself）。 Initially， the changing point of view creates almost too much confusion。 Characters are introduced with lout introductions， so for the first two or three groups of chapters you kind of play catch up with who each of the protagonists is。There was a subtle hint that Abercrombie’s previous books were being referenced throughout various dialogue scenes， but that doesn’t mean you have to have read his other work to understand what’s happening here。 This story stands alone and does not require you to be knowledgeable about the world Abercrombie has previous created。 。。。more

Absolutely fantastic！ I’m a big fan of Ken Follet’s Pillars of the Earth series and essentially can’t get enough of it。 This book gave me similar vibes and I can’t wait to start the next one。 I love the characters and the story， the tension and dynamics of powerful individuals across castes。 I really enjoy a story in the typical fantasy time period but with little to no actual magic。 There’s only the tiniest taste of it， the rest is just a great story with great character development。
