The second novel in the First Law Trilogy, Before They Are Hanged follows Logen Ninefingers, Jezal Dan Luthar, and my favorite sarcastic interrogator, San Dan Glokta on their various adventures in other parts of the world while all in service of The Union. Violent, unforgivingly brutal, while also often hilarious, the second novel in the trilogy is my favorite due to its focused character moments (there were plenty in all 3 novels but I liked these the most) and focus on action with a good dose of romance on the side. Highly recommend.
