We follow the POV of a number of characters who have thrown themselves behind two charismatic leaders: Leo and Orso. The plot, in the abstract, is fairly simple. The thing that makes The Trouble With Peace, and all Abercrombie books, great is the characters.

So if I can’t really talk about the book, and I don’t want to talk about the book, and no one really needs to hear about the book, why am I writing a review of it you ask? Well, because The Trouble With Peace is a contender for my best book of the year and it would feel unprofessional to say nothing about it. If you haven’t heard of him, and want a really intense fantasy series, go check out his first book in this world: The Blade Itself. If you have read him, you likely are going to read this book. As I have said before, Abercrombie is best enjoyed with no expectations and as little knowledge as possible. I didn’t really want to review The Trouble With Peace by Joe Abercrombie, because I don’t want to draw your attention to it.
