What is this "mental brick wall" you were talking about? If you have sampled the others, can you compare 1st Law to them?

Too many characters. Too many story threads. Too little energy or interest right now to keep everyone/everything straight.
I haven't done more than read the first couple chapters of any beyond The First Law series. I do like Joe Abercrombie's writing, but there are about a dozen main characters and three story threads running through the three books and by book three it was finally time to put them down and read mindless stuff for a while. I'll try to pick them up again later in the year.
