Review: Before They Are Hanged

Before They Are Hanged Before They Are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Just a warning that this book series has graphic descriptions of torture contained if that is a deal breaker for you.

Characters: 5*
Plot: 5*
Universe: 5*

A good continuation of the series. Things happen, characters grow and change. The universe of this book continues to impact the story. A very satisfying read for a second book in a series!
