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.

Most Unsatisfying ending ever
The title says it all. The story is entertaining, but it is certainly no masterpiece

Very entertaining
Aside from the narrator’s constant pronunciation of grimace as “grim-ACE”, he did a fantastic job with Abercrombie’s fantastic story. Highly recommended grimdark high fantasy.

Wow .. cliff-hanging ending, almost literally!
I want more! 😫 But would rather people would 'have a pained expression' screw up their faces, wince or 'grim-uhss', rather than grimaycing all over the place 😉 - the mispronunciation of that word had me grimacing every time I heard it. But other than that what a great story. Thank you Joe/Steve

Last Argument of Kings
The Third and final in the The First Law Series. And absolutely rollicking grimoire adventure, with a twist of very dark humour.
The perfect way to end the fantastic series.
My only issue is my deep irritation with the way narrator, Steven Pacey pronounces, “GRIMACE” (to rhyme with ‘dim-FACE’)…
I’m sure my neighbours heard me yelling, all through the series, “grim-æce” (no Schwa symbol)… (but the “normal” pronunciation of grimace!) It drove me close to dispute. But don’t let it put you off this awesome Trilogy. It’s truly the best, most gripping, entertaining, funny thing I’ve read for a very long time!
This is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

Not a Strong Ending
I first read The Blade Itself when it was first released but I had to wait for the sequel and it that time I forgot about it. I started listening to First Law series again from the start. This book is the final in the trilogy and by the time I got through this I was drained. Every single character is flawed to the point that they all become completely unlikable (I guess The Dogman is an exception). It just got to be totally depressing with nothing uplifting and, in the end, no real conclusion. It just rambled on and on with the character becoming more and more pathetic and unlikable until it just petered out and that was the end of it.
I've given it 3 starts because it's just not as good as its predecessors.

Second time listen
Listened to this trilogy several years ago. Loved it then and am even more in awe of Mr Abercrombies story telling and the brilliance of Steven Paceys voice acting. Glokta is deliciously bad and very funny

Hand wringing intensity
Brilliant trilogy. JB has developed his writing beautifully throughout it. His amazing ability to weave humour through the horror and pathos is mind boggling my good! His characters are highly believable as a result.
I think however, there’s too much repetition in character’s narratives. Especially for Glokta and Logan. Some editing would have made this a masterpiece.

Perfection
Jeez this fella is fast becoming my favourite author. Great ending to the trilogy. But does the nine live I’ll have too find out. Best series I’ve listened to in years.
