Joe Abercrombie’s The Blade Itself


Tom the Merciful

Recommended Posts

I was surprised enough by this that I actually used the find command on word. There are some twenty-three instances in the entire book, less than twice as many as in that one post, in fact.

Every author seems to have his favorite words, but I didn't find overmuch giggling going on.

It may be on the level of "supple" in GRRMs A Game of Thrones, but nowhere near "presently" in Phillip Pullmans books. Or *shudder* Terry Goodkinds remorseless overuse of "instantly".

*edit* And those are great books. Excepting Goodkind of course.
