Lightning Lord Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 How far off am I when I picture Final Fantasy's Kefka every time I read a chapter dealing with Glokta? Does he (Glokta) at least cackle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can actually imagine someone looking like that in a book being pretty disturbing which could be good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juli Greyjoy Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 How about a thread comparing your series with my unpublished manuscript, Joe? Oh wait, no, that didn't go so well...10/10, would read. :lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowborn Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 FYI, Logen is 100% Locke.I love your FFVI/book characters comparisons! :lol: But I can't think of Locke as any other than Locke (Lamora). :PArdee reminds me of Arche from Tales of Phantasia. They both love drinking, and this (NSFW?) reminds me of that scene at the bar with Jezal and Brint, where they talk about ladies :lol:.(Completely irrelevant to this thread, but the first mental image I had from Theon is Cliff from Harvest Moon: Friends of Mineral Town.)

red snow Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 Ardee reminds me of Arche from Tales of Phantasia. They both love drinking, and this (NSFW?) reminds me of that scene at the bar with Jezal and Brint, where they talk about ladies :lol:.Ardee reminded me of Aeris for some reason.FYI, Logen is 100% Locke.Many would argue the resemblance is closer than that depicted in the comics.

unJon Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Can someone help me? I'm confused about in which order that I should read all the Joe Abercrombie threads on this forum. Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Kilmore Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Still, no one has answered my question. I'll ask another.Can Eaters eat other Eaters? And if so, do the Eaters that eat Eaters get the powers of the eaten by the Eaters they eat?How much meat can an eater eat if an eater eats an eater?

Snowborn Posted August 24, 2013 Share Posted August 24, 2013 How much meat can an eater eat if an eater eats an eater?I guess it depends on how much meat the eaten Eater had eaten before getting eaten by the eating Eater. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Lord's Kiss Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 The bigger question is how many Eaters can an Eater eat before the Eater would be eaten?*(By another Eater) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sologdin Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 It looks like Abercrombie's "first law" series needs a general thread where everyone can ask questions about the series in a single place.+1 for the idea of an amnesty thread. we can gulag all of the freshmen where's-the-bookstore-how-do-i-register-what-is-the-provost-when-is-the-exam stuff here.

Le Dragone Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 None of the 52 posts so far have been on topic here, so I'm going to ask a question to try and bring things back to order. Why is the first chapter of the first book called 'The End'? Should I read the rest of the book first and then come back to it? Or should I read the entire book backwards? Thanks.Apologies if this has been answered before btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sologdin Posted August 25, 2013 Share Posted August 25, 2013 irony. it's "the end" because it's literally a cliffhanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The original text was in Hebrew, which is read from the "back" to the "front," as well as bottom-to-top, and right-to-left. In a compromise with the English publishers, they agreed to at least print it from "back" to "front." So when you start reading, the spine should be facing to the right.

Do you know if the first book contains spoilers for the next ones? Maybe I should start from the end of the last book and go backwards the way you suggested?I knew Joe Abercrombie's writing is unconventional and breaks a lot of cliches, but I didn't think that he would write an entire book from end to start, the respect I have for the man goes up every day.

I think it's called The End for different reason.ETA: I'm bored at work right now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ded As Ned Posted August 26, 2013 Share Posted August 26, 2013 Ok, i'm getting towards the end of book 2... who was Marovia again? someone on the small closed council. Apparently there isn't a wiki for this series yet, and google was unhelpful for a strange change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
