The Wisdom of Crowds by Joe Abercrombie
The conclusion of the Age of Madness trilogy. Sort of. But these things never at this point
The revolutions continues to roll over the Union. People are being sentenced to death for treason in job lots. All of the heroes are in peril. And oddly there are two stories going on that don't really connect. They have Black Rikke in the North fighting to hold on to her throne while in the South, the Young Lion, King Orso, Savine and the rest deal with the Great Change. Rikke had the better story, but I did see the backstabbing coming. As for the union, time and again people are offered opportunities for redemption but they don't take them. I really hoped for a change in Savine, but the attraction of power was too much for her to resist. In the end, the terrible people are still terrible.
Lots of events happened in the Union but in the end everyone was pretty much back where they started only a few people were sitting in different seats.
And the conclusion sets up the next series of books.

As a matter of fact, my anger does keep me warm
