Story
Roshar is a world of stone and storms. Uncanny tempests of incredible power sweep across the rocky terrain so frequently that they have shaped ecology and civilization alike. Animals hide in shells, trees pull in branches, and grass retracts into the soilless ground. Cities are built only where the topography offers shelter. It has been centuries since the fall of the 10 consecrated orders known as the Knights Radiant, but their Shardblades and Shardplate remain: mystical swords and suits of armor.

For a thousand years the ash fell and no flowers bloomed. For a thousand years the Skaa slaved in misery and lived in fear. For a thousand years the Lord Ruler, the "Sliver of Infinity," reigned with absolute power and ultimate terror, divinely invincible. Then, when hope was so long lost that not even its memory remained, a terribly scarred, heart-broken half-Skaa rediscovered it in the depths of the Lord Ruler's most hellish prison.

After the old gods warred and drove themselves to extinction, the cataclysm of their fall shattered the land of Vigrio. Now, power-hungry jarls carve out petty kingdoms, and monsters stalk the shadow-haunted woods and mountains. A world where the bones of the dead gods still hold great power, promising fame, and fortune for those brave - or desperate - enough to seek them out. As whispers of war echo over the plains and across the fjords, fate follows the footsteps of three people. All three will shape the fate of the world, as it once more teeters on the edge of chaos.

The Catenan Republic—the Hierarchy—may rule the world now, but they do not know everything. I tell them my name is Vis Telimus. I tell them I was orphaned after a tragic accident three years ago, and that good fortune alone has led to my acceptance into their most prestigious school. I tell them that once I graduate, I will gladly join the rest of civilized society in allowing my strength, my drive, and my focus—what they call Will—to be leeched away and added to the power of those above me, as millions already do. As all must eventually do.

Ten years ago, Calamity came. It was a burst in the sky that gave ordinary men and women extraordinary powers. The awed public started calling them Epics. But Epics are no friend of man. With incredible gifts came the desire to rule. And to rule man you must crush his will. Nobody fights the Epics...nobody but the Reckoners. A shadowy group of ordinary humans, they spend their lives studying Epics, finding their weaknesses, and then assassinating them. And David wants in. He wants Steelheart - the Epic who is said to be invincible. The Epic who killed David's father.

Publisher's summary
The end is coming.
Logen Ninefingers might only have one more fight in him, but it’s going to be a big one. Battle rages across the North, the King of the Northmen still stands firm and there’s only one man who can top him. His oldest friend and his oldest enemy. It’s time for the Bloody-Nine to come home.
With too many masters and too little time, Superior Glokta is fighting a different kind of war - a secret struggle in which no-one is safe and no-one can be trusted. His days with a sword are far behind him. It’s a good thing blackmail, threats, and torture still work well enough.
Jezal dan Luthar has decided that winning glory is too painful, and turned his back on soldiering for a life with the woman he loves. But love can be painful too, and glory has a nasty habit of creeping up on someone.
While the King of the Union lies on his death bed, the peasants revolt and the nobles scramble to steal his crown. No-one believes that the shadow of war is falling across the very heart of the Union. The First of the Magi has a plan to save the world. But there are risks. There is no risk more terrible, after all, than to break the First Law.

Something Quite Different-- Part 3
I have been reading Fantasy/Science Fiction since Dinosaurs walked the earth. And if I have to read one more 'coming of age...gee who knew I was MAGIC!!' book, I'll throw up. So finally, along with Michael J Sullivan (with more swearing) or Patrick Rothfuss (with more blood and betrayal) or Anthony Ryan (with fewer animal companions) ... another series with some actual, more/less real people in it (though, let's face it, Berserkers are thankfully not common in our Internet age). I appreciate someone who realizes that a) we all MIGHT become better people but b) we bring ourselves with us. And, while mostly uncomfortable, sometimes our past selves are pretty useful. We might drink too much, we might say the wrong things at the wrong times... but if we are not so self-absorbed that we can't see beyond our noses... we can contribute. And not even modestly, at that. So, for a fantasy of 'real, flawed' people contributing...this gets an A+++. If you haven't read/listened to Red Country... you must. The ending of Costas is better than you can imagine! But listen to the whole First Law series, first.

Great Narration, Great Story, Unsatisfactory End
I bought the First Law trilogy audiobooks because Steven Pacey is the narrator. I've been listening to Pacey for years and I'm pretty much up to date and can't wait for more.(Thank you Steven for introducing me to so many wonderful writers). As usual, Pacey's variety of voices and pacing of the storyline is immaculate and largely inimitable. I especially loved Glokta's lithp which you probably won't have got from the print version. As for the writing, I found the characters extremely vivid, the action believable and the pace neckbreaking. Everything you'd want in a fantasy series, until the last book where Abercrombie pretty much destroys all the main characters exposing ugly flaws in their personalities which leaves you reeling and what-the-f-ing because you'd invested yourself entirely in them... I guess you have to be realistic about these things. I found the last few chapters of this book particularly heartbreaking when I looked at the time left on the audiobook I got the sinking feeling that there was no way the author could tie up all the loose ends (unless the world exploded or got overrun by demons or something). The ending was the worst. Say one thing for Abercrombie, say he's a tease. I have since reviewed my feelings about First Law and realized that I can't be this pissed off without having first loved the books. Nuff sed. Thanks Joe.

Great muddy characters
I greatly enjoyed the book and performance overall but my favorite part of the series is how you can both like and despise the characters. I grinned everytime I heard "You can say one thing about Logan Nine Fingers" or "Why do I do this?" also loved how it ended.

Gripping story, best reader ever
If you could sum up Last Argument of Kings in three words, what would they be?
Best Story, Reader
Who was your favorite character and why?
Glockter - He was so conflicted and so broken in mind and spirit, yet he struggled on.
Which scene was your favorite?
So many to choose from. The book never lagged.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It made me gasp!
Any additional comments?
Steven Pacey brought this book to life better than any I've listened to in my hundred plus audible buys. Each character sprang to life. His reading was FAR better than a radio play with many actors doing the parts. I'm very disappointed there aren't many more books by Joe A read by Steve Pacey.

* Inscribed on His Cannons by Louis XIV
I decided to keep with the pattern of review titles I had adopted in the first two books; that of completing the quote used in the name of the book. But here are some great quotes from this novel that would have made great review titles:
Life being what it is, one dreams of revenge.
The good thing about every step being an ordeal: You learn to tread carefully.
Life is a series of things we would rather not do.
You’re never alone if you bring laughter with you
Life is the misery we endure between disappointments
In war the only crime is to lose
God smiles on results
You have to be realistic about these things
There are many small surprises in this last book in the trilogy. Some of the behind the scenes maneuvering is revealed and I like the long range planning involved. The strong suit of this series is characterization. I will long remember Logan, Jezel, Bayez and the twisted Glokta; all of whom undergo significant life changes, and all of whom are forced to do some serious soul searching. All the people are flawed, just like real life. All the people have something to contribute to one’s own introspection. This is an excellent series. I liked each book more than the last as the story grew in the telling it grew in my estimation as well. This is good enough to revisit again in the future.
And in the end Logan is…
Stephen Pacey gives a performance worth of an Audie award. He was great in the first two books and is even better here as the story builds toward the conclusion. He is adept at the variety of characters here. His voice for Superior Glokta is so very sarcastic. He does a fine job at portraying Jezel dan Luther, the selfish dandy that has greatness thrust upon him. He is even great in voicing the female characters. This is one of those books that I will be listening to again just to hear the one-man-show that is Stephen Pacey.

Unsurpassed
The ending of this trilogy is just better than anything I have ever read so far or since then. I really like how Abercrombie has grown since the time he wrote this book, but I still think the first trilogy will be his "Exegi monumentum aere perennius" kind of work.
Hence me coming back to it after The Trouble with Peace, and enjoying the story with Steven Pacey's voice this time :)
Kind stranger, whoever you are, however you got here to read my review, stop contemplating, whether this book is worth it. Do yourself a favour, buy and enjoy.
