About this listen
The Union army may be full of bastards, but there's only one who thinks he can save the day singlehanded when the Gurkish come calling: the incomparable Colonel Sand dan Glokta.
Curnden Craw and his dozen are out to recover a mysterious item from beyond the Crinna. Only one small problem: no one seems to know what the item is. Shevedieh, the self-styled best thief in Styria, lurches from disaster to catastrophe alongside her best friend and greatest enemy, Javre, Lioness of Hoskopp. And after years of bloodshed, the idealistic chieftain, Bethod, is desperate to bring peace to the North.
There's only one obstacle left - his own lunatic champion, the most feared man in the North: the Bloody-Nine....
Sharp Ends combines previously published award-winning tales with exclusive new short stories. Violence explodes, treachery abounds and the words are as deadly as the weapons in this rogue's gallery of sideshows, backstories and sharp endings from the world of the First Law.
Narrated by Steven Pacey and featuring Joe Abercrombie.

Amazing as always
Joe Abercrombie together with Steven Pacey is second to none. They have a perfect symbiotic relationship that make for an amazing listen. I’ve listened to every book previous to this and about to start the next 3 in the half series.

For those familiar with the First Law books
This collection of short stories adds further depth to some of the great characters already acquainted with in the First Law and First Law World series, plus a few new names who tie in. Hearing some of the favourites back in the day is a real treat and Pacey performs these younger versions excellently. A few gaps filled, some alternative perspectives and learning how some names were earned. Another gem from Abercrombie.

WOW! AWESOME!!!
It's quite obvious why Joe Abercrombie has firmly established himself as one of the genre's greats, & I expect that he'll stay up there. As usual Steven Pacey breathes a roar reality into it, giving it such believable life. Truly a joy to listen to, or just to read. 5stars as usual👍

Amazing
What an absolute treasure this series has been . Greatest audiobooks on the market. The narrator is in a class of his own and the writing is stand alone in its depth , humour and characters you grow to love .
I will never tire of listening to Joe’s books read by Steven. Best coin I’ve spent .

Other guys voice sucks ass
Steven Pacey was brilliant as always and joe Abercrombie can do no wrong in my opinion, but the other guys chapter was nothing short of fucking painful. I don’t understand why they did this

great short story collection
really interesting to see some key events that happened outside the series
I recommend rereading them all as they are about minor characters mostly and I had to google the characters once or twice to remember who was who

Worth listening to added depth to the series
But please maybe don't let Joe read again keep him writing instead. Loved it still though.

Great short stories
I just love the first law world and this book gives an opportunity to explore some of the lesser characters in more detail. Also gives a different perspective on others that changes how you think of them. Steven Pacey is a great narrator.

Loved it again on the second listen!
Joe and Steven are my favourite combination, and I think Javre is my new favourite character!

Another 5 star book
After powering through the the first law books and world I needed any thing that kept me grounded in the world of the characters or Logen and Wyrin.
As always Joe and Steven deliver perfection.
I admit I skipped over the chapter that Joe read....He is a great writer, but after Steven, no one can impress
