The Heroes Joe Abercrombie Orbit, Feb 7 2011, $24.99 ISBN 9780316044981 Union commander Lord Marshal Kroy knows his direct reporting officers are incompetent mostly political appointees who believe they will be the hero of the upcoming combat. None of these egomaniacs has any real combat...

Have started this now, and the first chapter is a wonderful example of using a sense of unfairness to make the reader root for a character - very clever. And very important from the start, as we're now following a main protagonist named Thorn - though Father Yarvi is still very much in the...

Here's a guide to the reading order for Joe Abercrombie's books: Firstly, there are currently three distinct set of books: First Law trilogy: The Blade Itself (2006) Before they are Hanged (2007) The Last Argument of Kings (2008) First Law world standalone novels: Best Served Cold (2009) The...

Have started reading this, and loving Abercrombie's use of language and use of concepts. Truly, it's like reading a master at work. Only criticisms are that the plot mechanics look potentially obvious from the start, and whenever Yarvi speaks, I hear Hiccup from How to Train your Dragon. :)

The cover for Joe Abercomrbie's Half a War, sequel to Half a King, is revealed. And what a nice job they've done with it, too:

Hey All, I know there are a lot of Joe Abercrombie fans here, so I thought I'd post a review of Half a King written by my co-nerd Jemmy. Suffice to say, he really likes the book. Here's a snippet:

Hey guys, newbie here. I have questions regarding Abercrombie's writing style. Take this excerpt for example: "She gave her horse the spurs, possibly flicking a few specks of mud over Aliz's white dress, covered the ground in no time and slid her mount into the knot of officers that was the...

Book 1: Half a King

io9 has published the first chapter from Joe Abercrombie's YA novel, Half a King: An Exclusive First Look at Joe Abercrombie's Next Novel, Half a King You can also see the US cover - though no idea if it will be the same or different in the UK.

Does anyone know if there are any summaries on the First Law trilogy, specifically the first 2 books. I am reading Last Argument of Kings, and getting confused with one of the sections. I just want a recap so that I know whats happening. Thanks!

So I went to order Abercrombie's Best Served Cold from Amazon. However, upon searching on Amazon, I nearly became confused and bought this title instead! Best Served Cold: The Rise, Fall and Rise Again of Malcolm Walker - CEO of Iceland Foods I think Monza would be a great brand name for...

22nd September 2013 12:02 PM Tim James I’m sure, in fact I know that this is a book that has received a lot of positive attention for all the right reasons, and I am equally aware that it is one that has been for quite along time. Just an indication of how long it takes me to get around to...

12th May 2012 12:44 AM Brian Turner Joe Abercrombie’s “Best Served Cold” is a standalone novel set in the same world established in his “First Law” trilogy. Therefore if you’ve read that, some of the references and characters may be familiar. If not, you’re in for a treat anyway. The...

Joe Abercrombie's posted that he's about to publish a YA trilogy with HarperCollins, starting with a novel called Half a King, which he expects to see published in July 2014: Half a King | Joe Abercrombie By the sounds of it, it's not connected at all to the First Law world, though he's still...

"Best Served Cold" and "The Heroes" are two modern giants that declare Joe Abercrombie to be on one of the greatest modern writers of fantasy fiction. This leaves my memory of his "First Law" trilogy feeling like a long introduction, somewhat over-shadowed by his powerful standalone books. The...
