Our reviews of Joe Abercrombie's work
The Blade Itself
by Joe Abercrombie
Grimdark fantasy with a beating heart underneath the cynicism. Abercrombie writes the kind of characters you would cross a kingdom for.
Before They Are Hanged
by Joe Abercrombie
The second First Law novel. Three plot threads in three different countries, all going progressively worse. Abercrombie at his peak.
Last Argument Of Kings
by Joe Abercrombie
The final First Law book. Abercrombie sticks every landing he had been setting up for two books, and the result is bleak in the best way.
