Better yet, tell your in-laws to keep the baby indefinitely. That way you can have both date night with the mrs. and Joe! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkynJay Posted September 17, 2019 Share Posted September 17, 2019 Damn, after waiting so long the date snuck up on me. Didn't get it ordered until last night. So won't be reading this until Thursday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was just gonna re-read the trilogy but decided to do the stand-alones and sharp ends as well so it’s gonna be a little bit before I read A Little Hatred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigFatCoward Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 About 1/3 way through. There are no end of nods back the the previous books. Loving it so far but not sure there is a Logan or Glokta level character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not very far yet, but it seems the main difference is that the characters in this book are more living in the shadows of established characters. And they're more coming-of-age while Logan and Glokta had already experienced a lot of shit before the start of The Blade Itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caligula_K3 Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Just a warning for those of you partway through the read of the book: don't go into the spoiler thread. I had assumed (wrongly, my bad) that people would be blanking out major spoilers on the first couple of pages so people could discuss different parts of the book, but there are major spoilers on page 1. I agree that none of the new characters have been quite as amazing from the get-go as say, Glokta in The Blade Itself (but I'm only 20% or so in), but there are also a lot more POV characters than TBI- or at least the pages are spread much more evenly among them, and that the cast as a whole seems stronger.

Astromech Posted September 19, 2019 Share Posted September 19, 2019 Picked up a copy today for about $6 cheaper than the list price. I can retire early now. Still have to finish Sharp Ends first though. Quick question about Tough Times All Over for those who have read it . . . Spoiler Who are the two Northmen talking about when mentioning their bald boss? I feel like I should know who they are talking about. I read it previously but am having a massive brain fart.
