Many faces familiar from previous books lurk in the background, still pulling strings, hatching schemes and slitting throats thirty years on, but A Little Hatred and its sequels focusses on a new generation of characters as they struggle to win renown, settle scores, claw their way to the summit of the slag-heap of society, or simply survive. An age…of madness.Ī Little Hatred brings together everything you loved about the First Law-an irreverent attitude to the staples of fantasy, crunching action, merciless twists, a tight focus on vivid characters and a rich vein of dark humour-but seen through the lens of an industrial revolution. An age of money and machines, of pollution and corruption, of huge inequality and vast opportunity. Welcome, readers, as the world of the First Law careers like an out of control mine cart into a dangerous new age.
