This set of books is a series of books in the "First Law" series, including: "The Unsheathed Sword", "The Edge of the World" and "The Last Resort", a total of 3 volumes. This is an era where magic is disappearing, a world where heroes no longer exist and corruption thrives.
Adua, the center of the world and the heart of the United Kingdom, looks beautiful and rich, but there are seeds of uneasiness buried inside. The court officials headed by Chamberlain Hof and Inquisitor Soult were domineering and ruled the entire United Kingdom with absolute high pressure and power. Informers are everywhere, violence is commonplace, and innocent people sleep in fear in the cold night, not knowing whether they will become the next victim when they wake up. Justice is as dusty as dust, honor is reduced to mud; a shadow hangs over Adua, and hope is so slim...
But now, everything is about to change. The "First Mage" who exists between history and legend appeared in the United Kingdom, opened the Forger's Building that had been dusty for centuries in full view of the public, and announced a great adventure to the edge of the world! The strongest barbarian hero in the past, a weak and narcissistic young knight, a mutilated torturer, a female warrior full of hatred... A non-mainstream salvation team, an impossible mission, and an unknown journey that seems to be in harmony with the spirit!
Reader comments
The plot of "The First Law" is exciting and the characters are distinct, which is completely different from traditional epic fantasy. This book reminds me of "A Song of Ice and Fire". They are both grand fantasy worlds, but "The First Law" has a lower reading threshold. If you like this style, you can also check out "Dragonlance Legend", which also has wonderful adventure stories.
I feel that this book is like a simple microcosm of human history, with a wonderfully grand and ugly beauty. There are no good guys and bad guys, only disputes between people and the arrogance of the superiors.
The prologue is the final chapter, and the final chapter is the prologue, completing the closed loop. As the book says, history keeps spinning. Logan is still fighting, Philo is still seeking revenge, and the cripple is still doing shameful things...
Quoting a sentence from the book: Remind us of the laws of the world: everyone has someone to obey.
History is like a boomerang, it can't change a bit
It looks good. This is the stepping stone for me to refine my writing style.
With a great reputation, the name is worthy of the name.
The descriptions of several characters are superb and vivid on the page, especially the inner monologues that make the characters come alive. Grotta ranks first.
It's very beautiful, the portrayal of each character is full of "humanity", and each character is likeable. The plot is cleverly conceived and the translation is excellent. It is a rare book.
One of the must-read classics of fantasy literature, with smooth writing, vivid characters, and five-star praise.
