last argument of kings by joe abercrombie
The end is coming. Logen Ninefingers might only have one more fight in him ‘ but it’s going to be a big one. Battle rages across the North, the King of the Northmen still stands firm, and there’s only one man who can stop him. His oldest friend, and his oldest enemy. It’s past time for the Bloody-Nine to come home. With too many masters and too little time, Superior Glokta is fighting a different kind of war. A secret struggle in which no-one is safe, and no-one can be trusted. His days with a sword are far behind him. It’s a good thing blackmail, threats and torture still work well enough. Jezal dan Luthar has decided that winning glory is far too painful, and turned his back on soldiering for a simple life with the woman he loves. But love can be painful too, and glory has a nasty habit of creeping up on a man when he least expects it. While the King of the Union lies on his deathbead, the peasants revolt and the nobles scramble to steal his crown. No-one believes that the shadow of war is falling across the very heart of the Union. The First of the Magi has a plan to save the world, as he always does. But there are risks. There is no risk more terrible, after all, than to break the First Law …

O último livro da trilogia A Primeira Lei é uma leitura excelente e o final em glória da trilogia.
À primeira vista pode-se ficar com a ideia de que “mas isto acaba assim?”, sim acaba e termina bem. Fica tudo definido e acrescentar mais alguma coisa é tirar ao leitor a oportunidade de saborear o trilogia. Acredito que muita gente odiou o fim do livro, mas é o fim perfeito.
Nop acho que não acaba assim
Mas acaba. O livro seguinte que ele escreveu é Best Served Cold e está situado no mesmo universo d’A Primeira Lei, três anos após a trilogia. Tem lugar em Styria, com foco num conjunto diferente de personagens. Alguns são pequenos personagens da trilogia original dado mais profundidade e outros são novos personagens. Os principais personagens da trilogia, por vezes, aparecem em participações especiais ou são mencionados brevemente.
