Personally I'm really obsessed with the lore in Fire Emblem: Three Houses

I've never heard of First Law, but it being mentioned alongside the Expanse is reason enough for me to check it out

10/10 recommend. I'm 6/9 through the expanse and on 7/10 with Joe Abercrombie. (these are number of books, not ratings)

Joe's books are great. After the first trilogy, it's 3 stand-alone and a compilation of short stories. So if you don't love his stuff (if you liked the expanse you will) you can be done after the First Law Trilogy

My lemmy username is directly related to the First Law Trilogy

He's possibly my favorite character of any series. I've gone through all of the books 3 times.

I'd say the same. And he's got so many good quotes, most (killin' aside) relatable.

Logan Ninefingers (First Law) Amos Burton (Expanse) Wayne & Steris (Mistborn, Era 2)

I don't think there's another character I like more than these folks. Logan probably sits at the top though.

Is probably say coal shivers. I kind feel like he's ambercrombies favorite as well since he's actually in all of them
