The First Law is very, eh, brutal. I mean, GoT had some moments, but one of the main characters and subplots in FLT is a torturer. There are no completely likeable characters in FLT. *SPOILER* IMO there isn't sufficient resolution to a lot of the story at the end, and not enough explanation of why certain characters matter. It could form the basis of a TV series, I suppose, but meh. I don't regret reading it. I was successfully meta in its message: It was very nihilist in its feeling, and at the end of it, some people are dead and some people aren't. Some bad people are rewarded, some good people are injured, and vice versa. Shit happens.
