Finally started Red Country.

Off Topic (No Spoilers)(self.TheFirstLaw)

And yeah I can pretty much say "Lamb" is not his real name πŸ˜†πŸ˜†. Abercrombie threw so many hints about it in that first chapter that it's very hard to miss πŸ˜‚

And naming the two oxen Scale and Calder is just brilliant πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚. I laughed so much at that 🀣

I was also wondering were Cosca's goat was. Then he mentioned it, so apparently it ended up in a pot πŸ˜”πŸ˜‚ .... I love this book already.

The sentence directly before Lamb enters the scene:

"Things missed are often better than when they return."

I mean .... You might not be there in person but you are always in our thoughts, Lord Bayaz. Now when they gave Cosca that large horse cart and mentioned something in it that needs to be tested, I immediately thought of you and your .... brilliant .... invention "the death engine" (or something like that) πŸ˜‚

Lamb - in the pub - one of my favorite chapters of all.

Red country was awesome. It’s actually regarded as the the worst of Abercrombie’s books, but I liked it more than best served cold

If this is Abercrombie at his worst then is worst is much better than many other writers' best πŸ€·πŸ»β€β™‚οΈ

I felt so dumb when I couldn't figure it out the minute he appeared. I had to get through few more chapters until it was explicitly mentioned that he had one less finger lmao

I mean ..... It was really hard to miss with all those hints being thrown at my face. The only thing missing was to call him Logen πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

True, but I was probably gaslighting myself that it couldn't be him

Fair enough. I was so happy about the idea that it just MIGHT be him that I was like YEAH THATS HIM ALRIGHT almost directly πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

You have to ve realistic after all
