A good (mostly) standalone book following loosely from the events in the First Law trilogy. Some familiar faces appear, though some only briefly. A gang of mercenaries are recruited to disrupt relations and generally pee-off those who have wronged Murcatto.

I was pleasantly surprised by this book. It was much better than the last one I read by Condie, the plot kept my attention, and I found the main character, Rio, likeable and interesting. I'm also thrilled that it was a standalone!

So much emotion in such a short time! I stumbled across 'Better When it Hurts" and read it, knowing it was a standalone in a series. I loved it so much I decided to jump back to the beginning. I can't wait to binge read this series!

Incredibly enjoyable
A very enjoyable standalone book. Although very slight hints at the cosmere, this book is seperate from his mistborn/stormlight series. With an incredible prologue that will capture you from the start, the book is incredibly smart, witty, funny and all round just a good read.

Excellent short story (read in under an hour) telling some of the background to the full Chronicles of the Black Gate series.
While the short story doesn't go into much detail on the world, races, geography etc this doesn't hinder enjoyment as a standalone work, as well as being a nice opener for the series as a whole.

It wasn't quite what i was expecting, being a massive fan of the musical. It's definitely not as light and fun as the musical - it's a lot darker and deeper. However I did enjoy it as a standalone novel. The twists from the original story are so clever and its much more emotional and also quite political.

Quite a complicated magic system to get your head round, but it isn't done to death (it is hinted at early but is only really used in earnest quite a lot later in the book). There are aspects of other parts of the cosmere hinted at here (the gods being similar to those in elantris, using material items for powers). A good standalone contribution to the universe.
