No me demoré en terminarlo porque no me estuviera gustando, si no, porque estoy muy loca y me metí en muchas LC diferentes en su momento, lo que hizo que descuidara otras lecturas, además, sabía que me iba a dar duro este final, por que me veía venir muertes y tristeza, (que sí propias del grimdark, pero igual, soy llorona). Todo el entramado de la historia está perfecto, los giros, los enredos de los personajes, sus relaciones, la guerra, todo muy bien armado y muy bien finalizado. Hay de todo, algunos terminan mal, otros regular, otros bien y otros no terminan T.T , pero en sí, quedé contenta con como se desarrolla todo y además siempre quedan esas perlitas de sabiduría que ha tenido toda la saga que me han hecho amarla más.

Another amazing book by Joe Abercrombie, not that's it's any surprise. Hope he keeps the books coming!

Abercrombie wraps up this trilogy true to form. I didn't like how things ended. But I liked that I didn't like it.

Oooo This was a brutal one. Every character we've grown attached to return and new ones are introduced for the final battle that will change everything, for those who survive. Author Joe Abercrombie doesn't hold back from the roughness of war and the toll it takes. I was surprised with the routes some characters took, especially Father Yarvi, but all of it led to a satisfying ending. At first I was a little let down, but after some reflection, I realize this is the right ending for the trilogy and wouldn't want it any other way. New characters Skara, Raith, and familiar face Koll are very engaging. Skara is a strong and fantastic female hero. Raith started off as a jerk but his story quickly drew me in and I found myself liking him. Koll has a complex journey and I was glad to see his story end the way it did. I'd heard that these books were excellent, and I was so happy to believe those words. This is one of the best fantasies I've ever read and highly recommend it to anyone who loves light fantasy with intrigue, betrayal, romance, and wicked power struggles. Not to be missed!

Still not sure what to say about this because of the treachery. Still, the ending fitted the series. Loved the series, didn't appreciate aspects of the ending. There you have it.

Shattered Sea 3. Modern military weapons introduced into a viking style post-apocalypse world is great fun. Some interesting character directions, as to be expected from Abercrombie. Probably the most fun of the trilogy
