       | The First Law is very, eh, brutal. I mean, GoT had some moments,
       | but one of the main characters and subplots in FLT is a torturer.

       | There are no completely likeable characters in FLT.

       | *SPOILER*

       | IMO there isn't sufficient resolution to a lot of the story at
       | the end, and not enough explanation of why certain characters
       | matter. It could form the basis of a TV series, I suppose, but
       | meh.
       | 
       | I don't regret reading it. I was successfully meta in its
       | message: It was very nihilist in its feeling, and at the end of
       | it, some people are dead and some people aren't. Some bad people
       | are rewarded, some good people are injured, and vice versa. Shit
       | happens.
