Reader reviews for Sharp Ends

Review summary

This seller has earned a 3.92 of 5 Stars rating from internet customers.
3.92 / 5 (135 total reviews)

Readers view Sharp Ends as an uneven yet worthwhile return to the First Law world. Abercrombie’s taut prose, gallows humor, and crackling dialogue earned consistent praise, with the Shevedieh-and-Javre arc and standout stories—especially the opener and finale—cited as highlights. Many enjoyed seeing familiar events from new angles and the clever shifts in viewpoint. Still, the anthology format left some cold: several pieces feel like brief vignettes with thin or unresolved payoffs, and momentum can stall between stories. Best suited to existing fans, though newcomers can follow with some effort.

From the publisher

Sharp Ends is the ultimate collection of award winning tales and exclusive new short stories from the master of grimdark fantasy, Joe Abercrombie.

Violence explodes, treachery abounds, and the words are as deadly as the weapons in this rogue's gallery of side-shows, back-stories, and sharp endings from the world of the First Law.

The Union army may be full of bastards, but there's only one who thinks he can save the day single-handed when the Gurkish come calling: the incomparable Colonel Sand dan Glokta.

Curnden Craw and his dozen are out to recover a mysterious item from beyond the Crinna. Only one small problem: no one seems to know what the item is.

Shevedieh, the self-styled best thief in Styria, lurches from disaster to catastrophe alongside her best friend and greatest enemy, Javre, Lioness of Hoskopp.

And after years of bloodshed, the idealistic chieftain Bethod is desperate to bring peace to the North. There's only one obstacle left -- his own lunatic champion, the most feared man in the North: the Bloody-Nine . . .
