Sharp Ends by Joe Abercrombie

I love a good short story collection set in an established world. This featured a lot more established characters than I expected, and the remainder introduced a few new characters that showed up across several stories (great idea). I would have enjoyed the inclusion of some more "unknowns" to flesh the world out, but I guess this approach makes more sense when the series is heavily character focused. Interesting to get POVs from characters we already know and see their opinions on our old favorites! Stories are mostly good but the last two are brilliant.
