Ross (3284 KP) rated Before They are Hanged: The First Law: Book Two in Books
Nov 29, 2017
The story continues as Glokta travels to defend the far off empire state of Dagoska from siege (and further rooting out corruption along the way) and the band of travellers head to the edge of the world. The best of the action takes place in the North where the empire is looking to teach the savage Northman a lesson - something that does not go well as a large, poorly prepared army meet a smaller collection of epic warriors afraid of nothing.
Definitely book 2 of a trilogy, this book keeps the story moving along, allows some of the characters to develop but with a little let down at the end.

Easy to read and well writen (1 more)
Amazing story that will have you unable to put the book down
Quite possibly the top of my favourite fantasy book list
I love reading fantasy and this is by far one of the best I have ever read, it's right up there with Lord of the Rings good. I can only say that choosing to read this book, will get you hooked and unable to put it down. The story is fantastic and writen to an awesome standard that it's easy to read and so full of wounder to epic proportions.
King at his finest
Epic, multi character novels are what Stephen King does best and It is a fantastic example. The characters are all well written, well developed, flawed but all loveable in their own ways. The plot itself is a mix between a coming of age and a horror story, and keeps you reading throughout this 900 page + novel. The finale does get a bit too bonkers in parts and there are a few aspects of the story that are a little unnecessary, but it's a sign of a great book when you get to the end and feel so sad that it's over.

Fantastic
I want to say that this book was better than the first but that would be a lie as they are equally outstanding. I was glued to my seat and couldn't turn the pages fast enough. This one picks up where the first one left off and the storytelling is fantastic. I was quickly swept away and lost within this beautiful storyline full of Vikings, princesses, maniacal jarls and even a very disturbing witch. The characters are strong and work well within the story and I can't wait to learn more about Dayna and Brant as I know their story will also be epic!!

I absolutely fell in love with the original trilogy and couldn't wait to get my hands on the prequel. I am not disappointed.
This gave the reader another glimpse into the world of the trolls and what came to pass before the beloved trilogy and the epic story that followed. The pages are filled with love and a glimpse behind the mask of Marc.
If you loved the trilogy you will not be disappointed by this!

"Beautiful and full of monsters, all the best stories are"
boy oh boy oh boy was this book beautiful (and full of monsters) and magical I was so captivated by the story and the land that I can completely understand how Lazlo got so caught up in the city of Weep.
If you're looking for an epic high fantasy I highkey recommend this one. It will touch your soul in new and exciting ways. Laini Taylor is a genius!!!

Classic Chiller!
Classic chiller from Peter Straub. An epic tale about a group of ageing men who form The Chowder Society, a place where they share ghosts stories between them, and are united by a terrible secret from the past. Expertly written, solid characters, and genuinely creepy, this is Peter Staub on top form. Essential reading!
Note: If you enjoy this I seriously recommend his equally fantastic ghost story Full Circle (aka Julia/ The Haunting of Julia).
