Favourite book series

I'm adding my reading history to the new Reading section. I'm up to 2016, which was when I started reading The First Law series by Joe Abercrombie. These three books, the stand-alone sequels and the second trilogy is probably my all time favourite series of books.

Bayaz, Glokta, Logen and the rest of the characters that were introduced in the original is just a terrific ensemble. And the way Abercrombie juxtaposes internal dialogue versus how people are perceived by others resonated deeply at a time when I needed it the most.

They were the right words at the right time.
