Description
The end is coming.
Logen Ninefingers might only have one more fight in him-but it's going to be a big one. Battle rages across the North, the king of the Northmen still stands firm, and there's only one man who can stop him. His oldest friend, and his oldest enemy: it's time for the Bloody-Nine to come home.
With too many masters and too little time, Superior Glokta is fighting a different kind of war. A secret struggle in which no one is safe, and no one can be trusted. As his days with a sword are far behind him, it's fortunate that he's deadly with his remaining weapons: blackmail, threats, and torture.
Jezal dan Luthar has decided that winning glory is too painful an undertaking and turned his back on soldiering for a simple life with the woman he loves. But love can be painful too-and glory has a nasty habit of creeping up on a man when he least expects it.
The king of the Union lies on his deathbed, the peasants revolt, and the nobles scramble to steal his crown. No one believes that the shadow of war is about to fall across the heart of the Union. Only the First of the Magi can save the world, but there are risks. There is no risk more terrible, than to break the First Law...

Summary: "Well written but a bit too cynical for me"
I liked how Abercrombie developed interesting characters (sympathetic antagonists and flawed protagonists). He told his story well and included clever lines that gave me some occasional chuckles. However, I found the ending too cynical; his point seemed to be that no matter what people do, they can't really change things. I'm not saying everything should end happily ever after for everyone, but the whole thing just seemed over the top.

Summary: "Life is short, read something else."
I was thoroughly disappointed with this book. I'd go so far to as to say that it is not worth reading. Life's short, so why waste your time with this one?
One reviewer wrote, "this series is a work of literary art." I disagree. Abercrombie is a good writer, but he isn't writing literature. The series feels like a long-form writing assignment on trying to make unlikable characters likable enough to sustain a story. And that's the problem--in the end, the characters not to likeable. Who cares about what happens to Logen, Glokta, Bayaz, or Jezal?
I cared some about the characters in the two previous books, but in the third book I just quit caring. After I quit caring about the characters, their travails do not matter and there was nothing to carrying the plot along.
Abercrombie has accomplished an impressive writing feat by crafting a trilogy based on unsympathetic main characters. But in the end, and especially in the third book, it does not result in interesting or engaging reading. The first book was worth reading and maybe the second, but there's no reason to read this one.

Summary: "Say one thing for Mr. Abercombie, say he hates happy endings"
Coming into this book after reading the first two, I knew this would be another thrilling dark fantasy, gritty and complex characters, and a whole lot of action. I blasted through the first half of this book, enjoying the ride just as much as I had in the first two installments. Abercombie writes some great stuff here, on top of his original take of overused fantasy characters he has a unique way of presenting each scene. This is what makes the book readable.
But then a realization started to sink in as I trudged my way through the second half of the book. The ending was not going to be a nice little package that I have become familiar with, even in other dark fantasies such as American Gods by Neil Gaiman. This story was to be, and I guess I should warn possible SPOILERS ahead, just an abrupt unsatisfying end. Don't get me wrong, I don't necessarily hate endings where the "bad guy wins", but I had this distinct feeling that I was no further from the spot where I had started reading the book. All the struggle, and desperation, and after pages and pages of blood, torture, cleaving heads, and sucking gums, I had come to nothing. I suppose this is the writers intention, but just...come on! I was left flipping the back pages, scanning the back, and scratching my head thinking is that it? You invest a long time in each of these characters, and it is decidingly depressing to just have all hopes of redemption snatched out from under their feet. I want to say that all the enjoyment I got from reading the subplot of the book was enough for me, but I can't shake the sour taste in my mouth after an ending like this one. I guess the best I can describe this feeling is like the journey Bayaz, Logen, Ferro, Jezal, etc, made to the End of the World. A long, sometimes enjoyable, sometimes tough, journey, and then you come to the end, only to find that what you had traveled for wasn't there at all.
Now you tell me, is that time worth it or wasted? I still can't seem to decide.

Summary: "Not Escapism"
Most people read epic fantasy for some sort of escapism. While there might be tradgedy, death and hardships along the way typically there are epic heroes who win out in the end. This is I guess what I like. Last argument of kings is not this kind of book.
I guess this is what I was expecting. Instead in this series you have a group of "heroes" who are all very hard to get behind. Just when you think a character is going to do the right thing, or is on the right track they do something horrible, weak, or that completely shows their character has reverted to the way they always were.
I found this interesting, and somewhere in the second book (when the characters seemed to be improving as decent people) I decided I would reccomend this series to a freind. I am now a bit ashamed that I did because when I reccommend a book I feel like people respect my opinion and I just can't get behind this kind of writing. Particually the ending.
The ending was particularly dissapointing. Evil (in many senses) triumphs, love fails, the characters all turn out dissapointing. I have to say I would reccommend this up to the second book, but the third fails.

Summary: "An enjoyable read"
I enjoyed the book. It was moved well and the story and the characters were interesting. It closes out much of the loose ends from the previous books and creates a few new ones for future books. I thought the final chapters were forced. Bayaz's personality change was too extreme and seemed artifical and contrived to me. Near the end of the book he is portrayed as nearly unbalanced in his meglamania and to me, this came too abrubtly. The end just wouldn't end. In order to build some future story line and close some loose ends, it went on and on.
