Joe Abercrombie was born in Lancaster, England, studied psychology at Manchester University, and worked as an editor of documentaries and live music before his first book, The Blade Itself, was published in 2006. Two further instalments of the First Law trilogy, Before They Are Hanged, and Last Argument of Kings, followed, along with three standalone books set in the same world: Best Served Cold, The Heroes and Red Country. He has also written the Shattered Sea trilogy for young adults, the Age of Madness trilogy for old adults, and Sharp Ends, a collection of short stories. He lives in Bath, England, with his wife and three children.
Highly recommended - a funny, finely-wrought, terrifically
energetic work of high fantasy. Seek it out

LAST ARGUMENT OF KINGS signs off the trilogy on a high,
interspersing breathless skirmishes with thriller-like moments. You
should always end with the best. Wow them in the final act... get
them on their feet applauding when the curtain falls. LAST ARGUMENT
OF KINGS is the textbook example of this theory in practice
*SFX*
Breathtaking moments, great characters and grim laughs
