  "textContent": "_A cast of extremely colourful characters disaster their way across an alternate Europe in an attempt to avoid suffering the consequences of their Papal binding._\n\nI enjoyed this quite a bit. There were some glaringly obvious “twists”, and some rather more subtle ones, but even the ones I could see coming miles off were still pulled off to my satisfaction. There are quite a few characters, and they are all very, clearly distinguishable. Abercrombie also avoids turning them into caricatures, giving hints of depth to even the most single-minded ones. I liked the world-building, particularly the schism. One or two of the combat scenes dragged on a bit, but in general, this was a fast, fun read. Will be reading the sequels. ★★★☆☆",
