Whilst humour is present in Sanderson’s epics, Abercrombie sprinkles it with glee throughout the graphically violent but very funny The Blade Itself. Gritty, dark and funny are not terms you expect when comparing books like the Mistborn series. The Blade Itself (Book 1 of The First Law), by Joe Abercrombie Recommended for Sanderson fans, and non-fans alike. Sonea is likeable, making the world she inhabits accessible to people approaching fantasy for the first time. However, The Magician’s Guildalso focuses a lot on both the characters and world in which they live. On the face of it, Canavan’s tale seems a lot simpler than Sanderson’s epic.
With the powerful Magician’s Guild now on her tail, Sonea must quickly learn and control her natural magical potential. The adventure begins when she throws a stone through a magician’s barrier, accidentally injuring the magician behind it. Sonea is a young girl from the slums in a world where magic is commonplace. But where Sanderson’s prose has been cited as an example of ‘prose out of control’, Canavan’s story remains tightly focused on Sonea.
