"It amazes how Joe Abercrombie can create such varied and engaging characters. I love the ragtag group dynamic, and the perspective shifts are a welcome change of pace. The book has the same oregon trail-esque DNA from "Before they are hanged" and honestly I am here for it. My only complaint is the lackluster purpose of the journey, it is not very exciting, but in this case the journey is better than the destination." — Mar 03, 2026 12:01AM
