The Devils
by Joe Abercrombie
DID NOT FINISH: 33%
God did I want to enjoy this book, I really did.
The writing was great, the characters diverse and unique, the environment gritty but oddly cosy (maybe because it’s a misfits on a quest story line), but I just could not get into it 😭
I think I struggled with having such an wide array of morally grey characters, none of which I felt like I could root for, and without that fire behind me I struggled to keep entertained/focused. I think this is quite common for characters in Grimm fantasy, so perhaps the genre isn’t for me, but it was really great to try it from “the father of Grimm fantasy” - he does write really well
