I can't fault the author's curiosity better Ng put into words, but I maybe would have preferred a series of blogs.

arguably the best of the 3 standalones

My favorite of the standalones is Best Served Cold.
That being said...

This story centers on Shy, a close relative of one of all us First Law readers' favorite characters. Abercrombie masterfully weaves a tale of human character, and resolution, and regret, around her search to rescue her stolen siblings.

Don't expect a super fast pace. Also, this book probably introduces the least new characters (that survive). There are some meaningful heart wrenchers throughout. In fact, they may prepare you for those you'll have to endure in the following Age of Madness sequel series.

I've read nine out of the ten books at least TWICE!
I consider myself a somewhat hard critic and the First Law series is among my favorite contemporary fantasy universes. This story is an all too welcome addition.

A bridge between two series

This book serves nest as bridge between the first series and the age of madness (sequel) trilogies.

What happens in the north after the end of the union's wars? What happens to black Dow? What happens to the dogman? What of Bethod's sons? All this and more in this single volume.

Like all of the standalones, there are a lot of characters here that seem like they're not important to the overall plot, but are used masterfully to express moods, intentions, and expectations of the various standpoints in the world. Excellent world building.

Perhaps not super important to the overall First law universe, this book is still catharsis for those who love the world and the characters in it.

My personal favorite warrior in the series is Bremma Dan Gorst, who takes a pov role in this story.

If you're already a fan of the First Law series, then you'll love this book.

This book is largely about Shivers and his becoming the man who will eventually make a name for himself a second time.

But the main focus is on a renowned warrior on a crusade of revenge against those who tried to kill her and her brother.

Like all the stories in the First Law universe, it's not really for kids. It is for those who love great stories, intimately interesting characters, subtly comprehensive world building, and an excellent vocal performance!

Get ready for Explicit sex scenes for no good reason. Other than that, this story is a fun application of fringe superhero perspectives.

It was nice to enjoy this story about fairly genuine supervillains. The unfolding want too predictable. This story is not for kids. The powers and applications were fun too. I usually listen to pretty heavy stuff and this was a nice retrieve. I would definitely recommend it.

Our Justice system needs a serious overhaul. Mr Duane outlines the ways several people have received harsh sentences despite their innocence. Done have even received the death penalty before their innocence was proven.
Do like I teach my children: ask for a lawyer, then shut up.
