About this listen

 WAR. POLITICS. REVOLUTION.
THE AGE OF MADNESS HAS ARRIVED . . .

'Funny and sardonic, violent and compelling' Guardian

'A tale of brute force and subtle magic on the cusp of an industrial revolution ... Buckle your seat belts for this one' Robin Hobb

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

On the battlefields of the North, the next generation of would-be heroes rushes to make the same bloody mistakes as the last.

While the age of the machine dawns, the age of magic refuses to die. One might glimpse the future, through the curse of the Long Eye, but changing it is another matter altogether.

The chimneys of industry rise, the cities seethe with opportunity, and even kings must kneel before the new power of the banks. But in the slums, anger is brewing, and soon it will boil over with a rage that all the money in the world cannot control . . .

Introducing a cast of unforgettable new characters, A LITTLE HATRED begins a new First Law trilogy which will have you gripped from the very start ...

Abercrombie at his best. A fine sequel to his original trilogy and so wonderful to be back in this terrible world he has created

Fantastic

The saga seamlessly flows on . Brutal, dark and in places funny. Some original characters killed off to make way for the new. How much longer will Bayas/Abercrombie let Arch Lector Glokta live ?

Brilliant as usual

Really superb next chapter after the first law trilogy, great new characters but still keeping the depth of the much loved old ones. Fantastic. Steven Pacey makes this already incredible book, absolutely stellar. No narrator brings characters alive like him.

Gritty, dark, bloody and brilliant!

Best audiobook ive listened to, read all the previous books but going to get the audiobooks now and listen to them as this was brilliant.

Awesome

Joe is back, but with a little cry rather than loud roar. The first book of another trilogy from my favourite author!!!!
I read this book off the back of the brilliant revenge book Best Served Cold so this book had a lot to live up to.Unfortunately it was lacking in his usual strong story and well developed complicated characters. There is still touches of class dialogue between characters and some old faces crop up which I’m sure will be deployed more in the coming books, but overall not his best but I’ll finish on a positive note and the last act leaves me wanting to find out how Prince Orzo and the rest of the cast of characters get on so in that regard he’s done his job.

Back to the First Law Universe

Steven Pacey makes this book just as much as JA. What a pairing! I'm gutted its over, it's so good!

sublime writing, sublimely read

Utterly mortified that the story's over and at having to wait for the next book. The best fantasy series I've experienced since Lord of The Rings, and Steven Pacey absolutely nails it as always.

Sensational

Compelling, witty and just plain brilliant. This audiobook is read with incredible skill and definitely should be a must for your collection.

Superb audiobook

Still good, but we miss our old friends. (and foes) Steven Pacey excells as always.

Good but needed MORE Glokta, Dogman and Jezal.

Joe and Steven are two souls that where destined to Meet.
Joe has a skill of not just breathing life into characters but resurrect what could be long lost heroes of old.
Its hard to imagine Joe's work without pacey's skill though, I cannot imagine it, after listening to every book at least twice, pacey is a master.

Undeniably brilliant
