Read this while at work in one sitting. The artistry makes it hard to differentiate between each orc. The characters aren't very well defined making it hard to relate to them. The story line is short but the book is long, not a good combination.

I did enjoy the twist on the take or Orcs. That they are the good guys and humans are the bad guys. Perhaps his written books on Orcs might have grabbed me more.

This was a slightly horrifying graphic novel. Not because of the violence and bloodshed but more from the clearly despicable human sides. The preacher will give me nightmares for the rest of my life. He's a little too in touch with the Alt-Right for me not to be completely horrified. The orcs are lovely and I am now intrigued to go back and read about their lot.

This was a fun read. For fans of fantasy books, it takes the evil orcs and makes them less evil. Instead, humans are the ones that are the bad guys. The book is based in the same world as a series of novels, so it draws strength from the rich background. But it feels like Nicholls tried to pack to much into this story.
