Rikke (rhymes with prikker) is the Daughter of The Dogman - one of the infamous secondary characters of the original trilogy. I’ll qualify my emphasis of that point in a bit. Why might that information be important? Because this story is told from the perspective of not three, and not five, but seven POV characters, as compared to three in BLADE. Upon inspection, this book looks very similar in length to its forerunner, THE BLADE ITSELF. To all reports, all three books have been completely written (hopefully not akin in any way to Rothfuss’s definition of “completely”), and we’re going to be getting the sequels at one-year intervals. His response was a little bit “Yes”… and a little bit “No”.Ī LITTLE HATRED ( Amazon) is the first book in the planned Age of Madness trilogy from Orbit. Guy just knows how to do story right, and I was hoping that he’d continue that trend. Was the beginning of my first love affair with the works of Abercrombie. I won a contest over at Pat’s Fantasy Hotlist back in the day and inherited all three books of the original First Law trilogy, published by Pyr. Thus, I’d be painting the canvas pretty thin indeed if I were to say, for instance, that I was stupid-excited to finally read this thing. Real quick US publication timeline for those of you that aren’t immediately aware: 3 years since Sharp Ends (last short stories), 4 years since Half a War (last YA), 7 years since Red Country (last stand-alone), and 11 years since The Last Argument of Kings (last series book). So, it’s been a while since we’ve had a book like this from Abercrombie.
