The Devils by Joe Abercrombie is one of the most talked-about recent releases readers keep adding to their lists and it is easy to see why: a band of monstrous misfits is sent to put a thief on a distant throne.
What it's about
Joe Abercrombie, the master of grimdark, launches a new series with a crew of damned, dangerous outcasts, a werewolf, an immortal, a knight and worse, escorting a light-fingered young woman toward a throne. It is violent, hilarious and morally filthy in the best Abercrombie tradition.
Why everyone's talking about it
The Devils was one of the most anticipated fantasy releases of its year, a bestseller that delighted Abercrombie's large fanbase with a fresh set of gleefully awful characters. Grimdark fans devoured it.
The verdict, for now
If you love your fantasy dark, funny and gloriously nasty, saddle up. Come for the misfit crew, stay for Abercrombie's unmatched blend of carnage and comedy.
