Old characters are unmistakeable in their weathered and worn guises, pumped up with the blood of a good scrap. The plot is wide and wonderful, encompassing a journey to new-ends, a bitter fight to the end, and a charge to glory on the battlefield. Embattled on both north and south fronts, the Union struggles to keep its head above water. In ‘Before They Are Hanged’, the reader is plunged straight into the deep-end. ‘Before They Are Hanged’ is a hard-fought, hard-earned story of ancient secrets, old foes, and fresh blood. Joe Abercrombie’s Before They Are Hanged is the sequel to his debut novel ‘The Blade Itself’, and the second book of the First Law series.
