The Heroes
The Heroes | Joe Abercrombie
They say Black Dow's killed more men than winter, and clawed his way to the throne of the North up a hill of skulls. The King of the Union, ever a jealous neighbor, is not about to stand smiling by while he claws his way any higher. The orders have been given and the armies are toiling through the northern mud. Thousands of men are converging on a forgotten ring of stones, on a worthless hill, in an unimportant valley, and they've brought a lot of sharpened metal with them.THE HEROESFor glory, for victory, for staying alive.

The Broken Binding February 2023 subscription box was just delivered. The beautiful edges all line up across the 3 books. I eagerly await book 3 😁

I signed up for this series sub specifically for these 10 books. The jackets are nice & the hardcover is foiled. Signed & dated.

This was a highly entertaining character study/war story that takes place in the First Law world. It includes many fun characters of the original First Law trilogy. Taking place over just a few days, it show‘s different viewpoints on both sides of the battle. It also includes the author‘s trademark Grimdark lovable rogues. Also similar to the previous novels, there isn‘t much plot.⬇️

Nessavamusic It really is a character study, so if you require plot you may not enjoy this series. 4.25⭐️ 2y

Well back for another serving of grimdark fantasy. I rated this a read because I admire Abercrombie's ability to tell a well fashioned consistent story. Pity the story is so dark. Another story in his first law universe and telling the tale of the lead up to, fighting and resolution of a battle.

Oblomov26 Story is told from the viewpoint of a range of characters, some who survive physically but very few who survive morally intact. 9y
iread2much I agree, he has wonderful stores and writes well, but his books are sooooo depressing. 9y

Armour is part of a state of mind in which you admit the possibility of being hit.

All you can do is take each day as it comes. Try and do the best you can with what you‘re given. You won‘t always do the right thing, but you can try. And you can try to do the right thing next time. That, and stay alive.
