I will never read another book by this insufferable faggot ever again. I don’t care how well he writes anything else, this series alone is my line in the sand. The first book was immaculate. Just a simple story about a crippled disabled prince being betrayed by his family for being disabled and having to get his kingdom back. The second and third books should have Abercrombie hanging from a cross. He just abandoned the main character from the first novel, the actual interesting one with character growth and relegated him to the back of the bus. He goes full dipshit and just introduces a Mary Sue with no development whose only motivation is basically “am stronk woman, I’ll be the bestest warrior because the men say I can’t.” She never fails and only gets more powerful until she’s essentially an unkillable god, all while the crippled main character kind of exists in the background. The author then pulls the “hahah jk this fantasy world is actually post apocalyptic earth in the future!” Trope out of his ass when nothing ever remotely hinted at that. I’m not a pretend tough guy, but by the end of the third book was the first time other than reading a King book where I’ve thought about finding the author and taking a bat to his legs.
