![]() ![]() I've probably posted before comparing various musical theatre productions to Les Miserables. ![]() I felt The Heroes had more characters in quantity, quality, and sympathy than this trilogy. I do not feel there are enough main characters nor enough memorable characters nor enough sympathetic characters. Glokta, Ardee, Jezal, Gorst, Shivers, Isern, Calder, Yoru, Bayaz, Rews, Curnsbick, and Sworbreck.įor me the major comparison of The Age of Madness trilogy to The First Law trilogy and to the three stand alone books are the characters. And there are plenty of characters from the first trilogy and the stand alone novels who reappear at points in this trilogy. ![]() I will say that Orso is more engaging, sympathetic, and likeable than his father. And Vick is not quite as continually cornered as Glokta. Perhaps he is supposed to be the Cosca of the story, but I don't buy it. Jonas, aka Steepfield, aka Clover, is not as forthright as Threetrees nor as jaded as Craw. Leo is neither as righteous as Shy nor as intelligent as Glokta. Tallow is not as developed as Severard nor Frost. And yet throughout this series, I did not find the characters as engaging. I liked it better than The Trouble With Peace, because there was closure. I did not guess the plot twists from the start, but I figured them out along the way. just some thoughts.įinished yesterday on a flight from John Wayne to DIA. This is not meant to be a comprehensive nor definitive review. I cannot guarantee that I will not discuss some of the finer points of Joe Abercrombie's stories. ![]()
