Craig, Ryan, and Kenn talk about the first half of Joe Abercrombie's "The Blade Itself," book one in the First Law trilogy. Does it live up to expectations? Should we even *have* expectations? There's humor, there's prose, and there's character work to talk about, not to mention your own questions for us, so plenty to dive into.
