Of Blood and Honey is perhaps the most literary urban fantasy book I’ve read in recent memory. Don't let the "fey and the fallen" subtitle fool you, either. There's a lot of grit here and characters who may surprise you if you let them.
Pratt goes to great length to tell us how much of a bad ass Mason is, yet we never see that reflected in the unfolding story. It's for that reason that I'm reluctant to go ahead with this series.
Slaying the Dragon is an insightful and well-researched account of the history of Dungeons & Dragons.
Blood of the Serpent fails to live up to the legacy of Conan and the vibrant world of Hyboria.
Shadows of Sanctuary offers readers a dark, introspective look at the city of Sanctuary.
Storm Season offers fans more of the gritty, morally complex stories that have defined the series.
A worthy follow-up to the original Thieves' World anthology.
Highly recommended for those who enjoy a richly detailed, morally complex world filled with unpredictable characters and stories.
Before They Are Hanged is a solid follow-up to The Blade Itself.
The Face of Chaos continues to deliver the gritty, morally complex stories that fans of the Thieves’ World series have come to love.
Best Served Cold is a masterful exploration of vengeance and its consequences.
Last Argument of Kings is a thrilling conclusion to Joe Abercrombie's First Law Trilogy.
