Just finished Half a War, by Joe Abercrombie.
This was a great ending for a really good trilogy. Skara, Koll, and Raith were good protagonists (though still not as good as Yarvi), the dark yet bittersweet tone of the whole thing fit with the tone established before, and it was so nice to see the little bits of worldbuilding regarding the elves finally pay off. Overall, very glad I read the trilogy.
Loving the bodyguard AU trope in Half a War. Of course it’s been getting ruined by the bodyguard nearly trying to assassinate the queen, and the queen getting engaged to someone else.
"I was hoping you might stay with me."
"Princess... I'm an old raider twenty years past my best, and my best was none too pretty."
"Doubtless. When I first saw you I thought you were as worn as an old prow beast."
Jenner scratched at the side of his grizzled jaw. "A fair judgement."
"A fool's judgement." Skara's voice cracked, but she cleared her throat and took a breath and carried on. "I see that now. The old prow beast is the one that's braved the worst weather and brought the ship home safe, even so."

I’m nearing the end of Half A War...
Tried some speed paint although it had nothing to do with speed xD
It’s a badass character - Thorn from “Shattered sea” trilogy by Joe Abercrombie
I highly recomend this series!
Thorn Bathu idea. ❤️Joe Abercrombie's characters. I always forget how he breaks them 💔
About a week ago I read and finished Half a War by Joe Abercrombie. The final book in his great Shattered Sea trilogy. A great Xmas gift from my wife. This book was an amazing read for any fantasy/adventure fan. Following two new points of view as they witness the culminations of all the interesting story lines of the series. Abercrombie explores a number of poignant questions and attitudes of the human race, including: the moralities of those with and without power, the questions people ask themselves when facing impossible questions or situations, and the multiple methods of dealing with loss and victory. Half a War shows more of the world of the Shattered Sea that hasn't been seen before, ties together many of the characters, and finally reveals the biggest twist that Abercrombie had been leading toward through all three books. Friendships are forged and broken, vows are kept, royals are made, and really, everything is great. I loved this trilogy and it honestly ended too soon for me. I highly recommend these books. Half a War 8.5/10 Shattered Sea trilogy 8.5/10
Well. I’ve officially read all of Joe Abercrombie’s books. Now I just have to wait until the sequel to A Little Hatred
