Have you read The Contortionist’s Handbook, by Craig Clevenger?Can anyone suggest some good authors that write like Palahniuk and Mark Danielewski?
The first reveal of The Bloody Nine is my favourite thing Abercrombie has written, I love how you find yourself questioning why he has such a reputation and how he’s lived so long, then it all makes sense...Finished up The Blade Itself.
Really enjoyed the book, found myself laughing out loud on more than one occasion. Loved Gloktas inner monolog and him always worrying about falling down or ending up dead in a river. Through the majority of the book I found myself wondering how Logen had made it as far as he did. He was certainly a capable warrior, with lots of battlefield smarts, but still took a lot of damage and seemed to end up on the lucky side of the coin on a few occasions that he could have easily ended up back in the mud. Then when all seemed lost and I thought Bayaz would come to save the day, The Bloody Nine took the drivers seat and he went beast mode, and it all made sense. I read that part 3 times it was so satisfying.
For the first book in a trilogy, I thought it would end with a little more resolution, but it seems to be written as one complete story rather than a large over arching story with 3 parts. I would have been pissed if would have had to wait on the follow up material, but I'm a little late to the part on this series so was able to pick up the rest of the trilogy and making my way into Before They Are Hanged.
I'd love to see some back story on the bloody nine, if he and logen are the same person or if he's a spirit of some sort that runs through him.
