I’ve been trying to read more fantasy and I heard this was a very influential, foundational series. It was not at all what I was expecting.
I thought because of the age of this it might be a bit childish but it has some real depth and darkness. He also uses a lot of obscure words from old English and Latin that reminded me of shadow of the torturer, I was reaching for the dictionary much more than usual.

The characters in this aren’t the usual good vs bad but morally ambiguous yet likeable rogues. There’s an interesting mix of comedy and gritty, dark moments. More surprising is that the female characters aren’t just there to be rescued or had sex with by the male characters but are strong and have depth in their own right, in some cases even quite dangerous to the men in the story.

Pretty good stuff and much better and way darker than I expected. I’ll probably continue with the series at some point.
