Recommending The First Law Trilogy in 3 Minutes 

Buy The First law Trilogy (affiliate link helps the channel): geni.us/FirstLaw What 3 min recommendation should I do next?

Literally the best fantasy series I've ever read, highly recommend it to anyone who considers it.

“You have to be realistic”. I’ve read every book in The First Law universe several times and they never get stale. Joe Ambercrombie is an absolute master storyteller. The Audiobooks are outstanding. Steven Pacey is a treasure. Highest possible recommendation!

First Law World is trully astonishing.Currently reading book 9 The trouble with peace and I absolutely love IT. To me,Abercrombie is up there with Sanderson. ❤

This review is perfect. The books are amazing and written so carefully and intentionally. I want the series to make it to television. But you have to be realistic.

I just had the trilogy delivered to my door yesterday and I’m on staycation for the week. Gonna binge these hard.

This is unrelated to this video, but THANK YOU SO MUCH for your "15 Things To AVOID When Writing Fantasy" video! It's going to transform my writing tremendously! 😊 Thank you! 🤗💙

Abercrombie is absolutely the perfect recommendation for anyone who loved GoT (especially the show) and wants to know what books might get them into fantasy. Anyone looking for something similar to Thrones would have a hard time finding a better place to start.

I’m like 60% through the first law right now and I love it!

I have read every Abercrombie book twice but still wanted to watch this video!

I'm currently in the middle of the final First Law book and am loving. Thanks for helping metastasize the word about this great series and author.

A great vid. Not to mention the neat and crisp editing. Currently reading 'Malazan' (on 'HOC' atm), but 'The First Law' is super high on my TBR. Heard so many good things about it... can't wait!

Almost done with a re-read. So epic.

The audiobooks are great! I listened to the first law trilogy several years ago and want to listen again and this time listen or maybe read to the other books. My read list is getting a bit long now that I'm retired... Gotta fix that! Lol

Have you read the Faithful and the Fallen by John Gwynne? I just started the second book yesterday, and it's been a wild ride! If you haven't heard of it, it's a four book series that perfectly blends classic and modern fantasy. There's a lot of classic tropes (chosen one, war between good and evil gods, etc.), but it's written in a fast-paced modern style. Malice, book 1, is slow to start, as it has to do a lot of setup, but around the half way mark, it starts moving like a highstorm 😂. John Gwynne writes action like he's John Wick. I haven't been so immersed in a fight scene since "The Sky and the Winds are mine." From everything I've heard, each book gets better, as Gwynne improves on his writing each time. If you haven't checked them out already, I can't recommend them enough, and I'd love to see a review of them!

One of my favorite books is The Letter for the King, I haven't seen many RU-vid channels talk about it, and I think it is incredible along with its sequel The Secrets of the Wild Wood

First Law enjoyers are usually team Logen or team Glokta. Why does noone talk about the Dogman and the gang? They are absolutely the best part

The Fan Art that you found is freaking beatiful

Always love your videos.

I’m not sure why you would blatantly spoil the character arc for a main POV character. Kind of infuriating. Taking away a reader’s ability to digest the character development as the author intends is pretty criminal….

ok i already like this channel,finally someone straight to the point

This was my first grimdark series and boy… I thought i could handle it but felt empty afterwards, gotta take a break from reading. An amazing series still.

I’m currently reading the last book, jezal is probably the most entertaining to follow, glokta is funny but the other characters I don’t really care about. Tbh ferro is just there, she doesn’t really have any depth besides wanting revenge. I don’t like here personality much either, she’s just edge-lord all the time. One scene I liked from her was when she laughed. Logen has a similar motivation as well but with more depth because he is tired with ask the killing and he wants to change himself but I thought he was a little too mopey. Well see how I feel at the end

First law is next on my tbr and I’m stoked to read it! Next 3 min recommendation video should be on The Dark Tower by Stephen King

Hey! I just got into these! I hate his plots, but I LOVE his characters and conversations between them. Like goddamn the man can write a scene. And some of the best combat descriptions ever. It's a very fun read/listen. Steven Pacey is an incredible narrator.

I would love to see a 3 minutes recommendation for the Dresden Files by Jim Butcher and The Black Company by Glen Cook.

Great video. I just finished listening to the audiobooks of all first law books. While I loved the first trilogy and the standalones I was very disappointed by the Age of Madness trilogy and the lack of The First of the Maegi. Feels like he was completely absent and changed from fearsome planner to oblivious bystander.... But you can never please everyone. You have to be realistic

I stuck on the first trilogy. I loved the 3rd ending book, but they were a bit too plotless for my taste :( Glokta made the trilogy for me. I loved Jezal's arc too. Dogman was pretty cool too. I will continue it one day but maybe not before I finish some other series I've started

If you're into audiobooks AT ALL. Steven Pacey turns this book into the most epic audio experience I have ever had. I did a lot of road work and consumed over 100 audio books. Would have done a lot more if I didn't go through the two trilogies and associated side books 4 times.

I’m stoked to read First Law now. You should really get into some indie authors and read some of their stuff.

I was sold before the clock even started! :p Have to get around to reading it soon...

Absolutely on my TBR list. Can't wait!

You gotta check out Kingdoms of Thorn and Bone series by Gregory Keyes! It’s right up your alley and the audiobooks are grade A ❤👍

Abercrombie is the best writer of the last decade or so for me. Anyone that hasn't read The First Law should stop reading whatever they're reading and read it immediately.

Discworld in 3 minutes?

you should do a 3 min vid on tress of the emerald sea ik its a standalone but hey its good!

not knowing what's gonna happen next is an under-appreciated thing in books and movies and TV shows these days!

You should also do recommending a book in 60sec for shortform content if you are not already doing it

This is a series that been on my to read list a long time, have and do you like Robin hobb series that another series on my TBR list great vid thanks may just be the push I need

Funny thing is I started reading this series 4 days ago

I have read bothe and GOT and 1st law I honestly prefer the 1st law.

Say one thing about Logen Ninefinger, say he's a lover

I just realized he had stand alone.... And now they are finished.... Then another trilogy....I can't wait to dig on

I don't get the love for this series. I enjoyed parts of it, but the ending just left me... cold. And wondering why we spent so much time in that world at all. What am I missing?

Book one about done

My favorite parts of these books is when the Bloody Nine bursts out of Logen. So epic!

Robin Hobb books next, pleeeeeeeeease!!!!!!

I know a lot of people loved it and so did I until the last book, I know what the book was trying to do, but I felt it was empty ended and disappointing.

I found the ending of the age of madness series underwhelming

Can I just insult you for dropping what seems to be a huge character arc spoiler WHILE YOU SAID YOU WERE GOINF TO RECOMMEND ME THE SERIES????

I guess I'm the only one who didn't like the First Law series...

Terrible ending. I hate myself for taking your recommendation.

The audiobooks are remarkable, you laugh, cry, jump out of your seat and get mad.

As an avid reader who is new to fantasy, I really enjoy these videos! I'm navigating my way thru these new fantasy worlds- and I love these brief, spoiler-free signposts. 3 Minute Recommendations I'd like to see: The Dandelion Dynasty, The Licanius Trilogy, The Bound and The Broken, Book of the Ancestor trilogy, and any Michael J Sullivan. Keep up the good work! I know you might not have read all these (I'm realistic about these things...) Abercrombie is my first discovery in fantasy. He's wow. Just...wow.

Sigh. **gets in car and drives to bookstore**

I read the first law trilogy as probably the third or fourth fantasy series I’ve read after ASOIAF and Stormlight. It’s top tier work with regards to characters

I’m listening to this now, just started before they are hanged, and I love it ❤ ~ I’m glad you liked glokta ~ me too!

Perfect timing for the video. As I have just ordered this series.

this trilogy is such a masterpiece. now reading "best served cold" is such a disappointment

IF you make a video about recommending a trilogy, that means your audience will be for people that havent read the series. WHY would you start telling me what Sand Dan Glokta end up being in book three and telling me he ends up not being the villain..... cool bro

You should check out Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia, the series is great, though I dislike his politics IRL

I just finished the second book. I have to be honest I expected it to be darker and bleaker. Doesn't seem all that grimdark to me

Can you make one about The Thief series by Meghan Whalen Turner? Its a book I didnt know I would love as much as I did

How About the Incarnations Of Immortality series by Piers Anthony?

Like this series idea. Next 3 minute summary being for Gentlemen Bastards?

Welp, put that on hold at my library

Unless Bujold gets back into fantasy Abercrombie is easily the best in the genre. I'm always disappointed with his characters, but never with his books

Does it get any better after the first book? It totally could just be my own taste but I was incredibly bored by the first book. I have refused to keep going cause of it. This has happened before with other popular books so it very much could just be me. But boy it was disappointing.

I'm about to begin with the audiobook version thanks for the quick reco.
