Also, just finished reading Joe Abercrombie's First Law trilogy. Loved it. Would recommend.

Like plot twists? This story is a chain. Made of pretzels. In a braiding machine. During a tornado.

And things don't even get weird until well into the second book. The first one just seems like a standard, garden variety fantasy novel. Oh no, strap in. It's going to be one hell of a ride by book 3.

I get the comparisons to ASoIaF, but GRRM keeps so many threads in the air at once it's hard to keep track of without taking notes. Plus, there's a lot of dead ends and cast off threads in ASoIaF.

Abercrombie keeps it manageable to where every character is used, and every thread is stitched by the end.

I'm pretty damned impressed.
