Abercrombie's debut novel is the first in a fantasy trilogy. The Blade Itself is well written but is clearly a book that sets up the final two books in the trilogy. Not a whole lot happens as far as plot advancement goes but the author does a good job of "setting the tee" for the remainder of the series. If you like fantasy, you'll like The First Law Trilogy.
