hawkwing_lbI've been meaning to mention this for a while. I recently read Joe Abercrombie's first novel, The Blade Itself, out of my local library. If you're looking for juicy new fantasy, and read ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
scott_lynch's The Lies of Locke Lamora too quickly, check out The Blade Itself. It's got skull-splitting barbarians, effete fencing masters, compelling torturers, nations at war and the strangest kind of mage.
It's an excellent debut, with really human characters, and it's gone on my list of books to buy as soon as someone takes pity on me and gives me a paying job.
