The Heroes
by Joe Abercrombie
Abercrombie continues to be the king of grimdark. While this is probably my least favourite of the First Law universe so far, it's not by much. What this book lacks in the grand scale and variety of settings and different plots, it makes up for in engaging characters and a brilliant execution of war.
What I find particularly interesting about this book is that it doesn't take place over weeks, months or years, the majority of this story takes place over less than a week, and that susinct timeline really adds to the feeling of how brutal a war can be, how so much can happen in so little time, and how quickly the tide can change.
I also love how you can continue to see the echoes of previous books within this work, and see how the events of this war are going to have ramifications for the next to come.
