Anyone read this? I think I've read too many of Abercrombie's books. There's not a lot of new stuff going on here, and all the major characters are boring as hell. There are some good ideas but they're all unorigional ("Communism! Revolution! Worker's rights! Gun powder!") and not handled in a particularly interesting manner. I don't think it's a bad book as such, but I Abercrombie needs to take some chances, I think. It's getting stale.

Currently reading this. I've read most of Abercrombie's novels, but I'm finding this one a bit of a bore honestly. Both Orso and Leo are uninteresting characters and not a whole lot seems to be going on.
