Everything with this portrait proclaimed war towards me. Shylo Vitari / The First Law / Best Served Cold (c) Joe Abercrombie
'I want only,' said the magic, 'to give you a gift.' It held out a closed fist, a secret token tucked inside, and waited to see what the boy would do. The child was neither too proud, nor too wary. He simply held out his hand, too, but open. And magic set into the child's palm a single, smooth stone, the kind perfect for skipping on a river.
And Vitari’s in this book too.
This is a much more compact example of what I mentioned when I discussed the portrayal of Osaron. Stories are powerful, but that doesn’t make them automatically benevolent.
Look how nice this scene seems. Look how the child is painted as way more reasonable than the people who turned Osaron away. Look how many people that river rock killed.
This isn’t even actually limited to the villains. Starting in Gathering of Shadows we’ll get a sense of the way Kell is used a propaganda figure, not by anyone evil, but by King Maxim.
