I just started the blade itself and Glokta is freaking hilarious.

Is there any correlation between Joe abercrombie and Terry Pratchett?

Maybe its just the dry witty humor than stems from that area of the world, but as a massive Terry Pratchett fan, this book has taken me by suprise with Gloktas first chapter.

I read The Devils and it had its funny moments, but The Blade Itself is already hilarious in its subtleties.

I was unsure if there was any correlation, and couldn't find anything concrete when I looked their names up together.

Its a stretch I'm sure, kind of doubting myself now the longer I type this post out; but on the other side of the coin, Pratchett is a giant in his own right in the fantasy genre and I was just curious.

We dont speak much but he's currently on probation for a drug possession/ weapons charge.

He was already a felon prior to his probation, and the judge dismissed the gun and let him just take the drug charge "while on bail etc"

That was like 3 years ago, he's been clean for 18 months while on probation, but punched some dude during a fender bender two years back, and last year he punched another guy and caved his face in, so he picked up a felony assault causing great bodily injury.

Is there any chance he'll be able to walk? He doesnt want to talk about it and I dont know who to ask.

He says the judge likes him, and the judge on his current case was the one who dropped the pistol charge, i just domt know who to ask about it and I dont want to ask him anymore, sorry if im breaking the rules but if anyone would like to message me I have his charges, no names just charges and dates
