What book sticks out in your mind because the bad guys got off easy or didnt get what they deserved? I enjoy these kinds of books occasionally because they are a better reflection on life and keeps you on your toes for a little while.
I just finished the Blackwater series and one of the characters got off way easy.

quote:
they are dancing, the board floor slamming under the jackboots and the fiddlers grinning hideously over their canted pieces. Towering over them all is the judge and he is naked dancing, his small feet lively and quick and now in doubletime and bowing to the ladies, huge and pale and hairless, like an enormous infant. He never sleeps, he says. He says he’ll never die. He bows to the fiddlers and sashays backwards and throws back his head and laughs deep in his throat and he is a great favorite, the judge. He wafts his hat and the lunar dome of his skull passes palely under the lamps and he swings about and takes possession of one of the fiddles and he pirouettes and makes a pass, two passes, dancing and fiddling at once. His feet are light and nimble. He never sleeps. He says that he will never die. He dances in light and in shadow and he is a great favorite. He never sleeps, the judge. He is dancing, dancing. He says that he will never die.

Came here to post that passage, Mich.
I still think about that imagery. It's haunting.

A lot of what Joe Abercrombie writes.

Deadhouse Gates. No question.
Gardens of the Moon comes before it in the series, but I don’t think you HAVE to read it first to get Deadhouse Gates.
