About this audiobook
WAR. POLITICS. REVOLUTION.
THE AGE OF MADNESS HAS ARRIVED . . .
'Funny and sardonic, violent and compelling' Guardian
'A tale of brute force and subtle magic on the cusp of an industrial revolution ... Buckle your seat belts for this one' Robin Hobb
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
On the battlefields of the North, the next generation of would-be heroes rushes to make the same bloody mistakes as the last.
While the age of the machine dawns, the age of magic refuses to die. One might glimpse the future, through the curse of the Long Eye, but changing it is another matter altogether.
The chimneys of industry rise, the cities seethe with opportunity, and even kings must kneel before the new power of the banks. But in the slums, anger is brewing, and soon it will boil over with a rage that all the money in the world cannot control . . .
Introducing a cast of unforgettable new characters, A LITTLE HATRED begins a new First Law trilogy which will have you gripped from the very start ...
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
'Crammed with characters and detail, the intricately woven story never slackens its merciless grip' Daily Mail
'A masterpiece of fantasy fiction' Starburst
'Could scratch an itch for anyone missing Game of Thrones' Den of Geek
'One of Abercrombie's best books yet' SFX
'Will keep you up long after bedtime' The Sun

Abercrombie continues in the same fantastic style as his first books, exploring the best and worst of humanity, digging into the workings of a kingdom or a city or a group or a person with equal detail and humour and dark reality. The twists feel realistic yet still unexpected, the new characters are maybe even more likeable than the old, and a few of the old pop up here and there too. Couldn't recommend highly enough.

Every single book is a thrilling, uncompromising rollercoaster with amazing wit and humanity. Absolute blast to read or listen.
