Update.

I really enjoyed Joe Abercrombie's First Law trilogy but I didn't like the ending too much. A little TOO bleak for me, and that's someone that enjoyed Hobb's Soldier Son trilogy and Glen Cook's Black Company books. I think if only one or two characters got it better I would have felt better, but it came out almost TOO badly for me. I get that the world is often a bleak place, and the assholes often win out, but man, I like to see a bit more of a mixed-bag or bittersweet-type ending than this ended up.

I've got Trudi Canavan's Thief's Magic on hold at the library but there's a couple of folks ahead of me.

I've seen Daniel Abraham's name before, I'll look into his stuff.
