inkfinger 's review for:

Before They Are Hanged by Joe Abercrombie
4.0

This is a seriously gritty fantasy trilogy that I thoroughly enjoyed, also as a series of audiobooks. Imagine the epic scope of Tolkien's Lord of the Rings combined with the no-holds-barred mayhem of Martin's A Song of Ice and Fire series. It's character-driven, action-oriented, bloody, and straightforward. Pure fun--perhaps not for the squeamish.
