On second thought, things would be worse.

Reading the series for the first time (just finished LAOK!) and this is the bulk of what I've learned, I think. That and Bayaz is a slimy, miserable little man.

Give Malacus Quai the gun, I think.

Once you’ve got a task to do, it’s better to do it than to live with the fear of it.

The problem with reading 'some' books is that the fandoms are different than what I'm used to. For example, I'm reading the First Law series by Joe Abercrombie and currently am on the third book. And now I wamt some tragic/drama/angst platonic or gay fics about Logen or Bloody Nine and Bethod.

Not sure what the line is in English but in my language it's about how you can't truly hate a person if you didn't love them before and there will always be some love left over. Logan was also happy to hear Bethod,even for a second and he still considers him his best friend.

I don't care if it's platonic, give me Bethod being the only one allowed to touch Bloody Nine. Give me their toxic, hurtful friendship/partnership. Give me Bethod's pain when Logen betrayed him.

The only reason Bethod even has a bad name and enemies is because Bloody 9(or Logen) wanted to fight and spill blood and he did in Bethod name, so he got a lot of the glory.

But there aren't any fics... I am left to my imagination.

Logen: Sometimes, I don’t realize an event was traumatic until I tell it as a funny story and notice everyone is staring at me weird.

The First Law Trilogy is about the illusion of accessible change. It's about the overwhelming exhaustion of perseverance. It's about Jezal having a crush on Logen Ninefingers. It's about how trying is still worth doing even when failure is nearly guaranteed. It's about how women are fucking awesome. It's about how the version of ourselves that we believe in, the version others see, and ther version we actually are can be so different and how we can define ourselves when they diverge and overlap. It's about wanting to hold the Dogman. Most of all it's about how bullshit Stairs are.

Red Country was defintely my least favourite of the standalones so far but seeing Cosca have a meltdown might just have made up for the first 60% of the book

#‘where iS MY GOLD????!!!!!’ #like honestly I found the first half pretty boring #did not care about dab sweet #did not care about pit or ro #did not really care about logen as much in this one because he was just back on his bullshit #cared a lot about shy and temple but was frustrated the whole way through #which i guess is sort of the point but i think he did it better with monza/shivers #i think the last 30/25% is really really good tho #asks some good questions gives some good answers #but i slogged through this one a bit until i got to the 70% mark #i just dont think it hits as hard as the heroes did 🤷‍♀️ #anyway on to the short stories ive already read the one about glokta before his charge god i love him #joe abercrombie #red country #logen ninefingers #nicomo cosca

"Death" by Adam Chmielowski (1870)

"'Tell yourself that I'm the cause of all your woes if it makes you happy! Tell yourself I'm the merciless one, the murderous one, the bloodthirsty one, but ask yourself who I learned it from. I had the best master! Play at being the good man if you please, the man with no choices, but we both know what you really are. Peace? You'll never have peace, Bloody-Nine. You're made of death!'

"Logen would have liked to deny it, but it would have been more lies. Bethod truly knew him. Bethod truly understood him. Better than anyone. His worst enemy, and still his best friend."

‘You stick a bunch of drunken murderers together, ain’t long before some turn to thieving, then to lying, then to bad language, and pretty soon to sobriety, raising families and making an honest living.’

‘It’s a slippery slope, all right.’

— Red Country by Joe Abercrombie

‘My congratulations on leaving the legal profession and becoming a respectable member of the community.’

‘Do they have such a thing in Crease?’

‘Not yet.’

*folds hands on top of table* So...I started reading The First Law Trilogy.

I’m bout 175 pages in and I have many profound thoughts

I want to post cause I read D E A T H L Y slow and it takes me a long time to push through a book, so 175 pages in is quite an accomplishment for me (it’s taken me a week to read this far if that says anything)

SPOILERS UNDER THE CUT, IF YOU KNOW THEN YOU KNOW LETS GOOO

1.) To absolutely no one’s surprise my favorite character is Logen “Bloody Nine” Ninefingers. That’s easily the best POV for me so far. My mans is just *waves hand around* COMPLEX. After being introduced to him I just automatically placed him into a box of the archetype I thought he fit into. However, he’s full of surprises, as Bayaz says. You expect him to be one way (especially after you are introduced to his former crew and you see how some of them act/think), and he’s just not. You have to be realistic about these things. But I DO feel like his character is building towards him doing something HORRIBLE at the end of this book. Everyone he encounters is like O ShIt LoGEN is A BaD MAN HEs a RABiDd DOG hE hAs KILLEd MoERE PeopPLE THAN THE PLAGuE and he’s literally a sweet puppy so I’m waiting for shit to hit the fan when we REALLY see what he is capable of.

2.) Other favs are Bethod (I WANT THAT BACKSTORY HE HAS WITH LOGEN SO BAD. WTF HAPPENED BETWEEN THEM THAT BETHOD SHOWED LOGEN MERCY?????), Bayaz (he is an old sassy mage and he cracks me tf up), Quai (soft boi who can’t remember his studies at all), and, oddly, Practical Severard. Sand dan Glokta is a cool character and I do enjoy that POV as well (because I know all these storylines are building to something and Glokta is doing a lot of behind the scenes shit right now politically), but I like Severard. If he dies off screen I’ll be surprised. I like the little bits we’ve gotten about him. I like Dogman too even though we haven’t gotten a lot of him either (I quite enjoyed the little chapter with Logen’s old crew, Dogman seems to be the most loyal).

3.) Least fav right now is Jezal. BUT TO BE FAIR TO HIM I think he’s being written that way on purpose so we root for him later once he undergoes character development. I just got to the part where Ardee tells him off for being a spoiled brat with a silverspoon and she makes him feel so embarrassed (LOL) that he finally decides to dedicate himself to win the Contest.  So we’ll see how his story goes. 

4.) What I find the most fascinating is I’m still not even sure WTF is going on. Like...if you asked me what the plot was so far and where the story is going...I don’t think I could tell you. We’re just following characters around while things are set in motion. The North aka Bethod wants Angland. Logen can communicate with spirits and that’s rare. His crew thinks he’s dead. Glokta is limping around killing people in a dungeon for Arch Lector Sult and torturing assassins. Jezal literally sucks at fencing despite getting roasted every day. 

But the characters are so engaging and despite not knowing where tf the story is headed, I find myself really enjoying it and wanting to continue reading. Joe Abercrombie’s prose is excellent.

Logen: Honestly, you're doing a lot better than I expected.

Jezal: It feels like all I managed to do is… not die.

Logen: And believe me, that is a remarkably rare skill.

I can't be the only one that thinks Logen Ninefinger looks just like Nathan Explosion but with more scars... right?
