The Blade Itself by Joe Abercrombie was on a list of recommended books in the Washington Post that my mother-in-law had cut out and recommended to me. I think that this was in the year the book was published, 2006. It took a long time to buy a copy as it did not show up in used book stores and I eventually took it out of the library.

Recommendation: Mild recommendation
Recommended By: The Washington Post
Review:
Some of the descriptions were really good: "...silence but for the wind fumbling across the dark stones...." Others, however, such as long battle scenes were just kind of gross. Maybe they were needed, it will take the subsequent books to know for sure. This is, however, a book that was written in need of a sequel. We shall see. For now, however, I can offer a mild recommendation.
