My friend Lenora recommended The First Law Trilogy to me and it did not disappoint. A couple years after I read the First Law World. Even though these books are most definitely fantasy, Joe Abercrombie does not do nearly as much world building and focuses a lot on swordplay. It is a different writing style than I am used to with other authors like Sanderson and occasionally it is nice to switch it up some. It is a big commitment with 2 large trilogies, but you can easily break them up for variety. One very distinctive thing I remember about these is that Steven Pacey crushes it on the narration and that may be enough on its own to give this a try on audible.
