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.

I've read at least one book of all 4 series. I loved Wheel of Time (probably the most traditional), Song of Ice and Fire and The First Law, but really hated the Malazan Book of the Fallen. I only managed one book of that, and struggled to get that far.
It's a funny thing, taste.
