I'm a big fan of Abercrombie, and I hope you enjoy the books. He's one of my favourite active writers.
In some ways the First Law trilogy is harder work than the related books which followed it, but it is fairly important to read them in order (and I loved them anyway.) It's the characters that do it for me, especially the northmen.
The only other way in to his work is his latest book, Half a King, which is much shorter and somewhat lighter. and with a whole new setting. Marketed as YA in some territories, I think it works quite well as a primer, and I'm looking forward to the follow-up due out next month.
