The Heroes
By Joe Abercrombie

The Heroes is set in the period after the First Law series and is unfreaking believable. After reading this book I grew a beard and set out to make a name for myself. It did not take me long to become a named man. Yet somehow I think “Barile Bubble Belly will” not strike fear in the Union troops or the named men of the north.

The Heroes does an amazing job of filling in the details of the north. The combat is great, the tactics are amazing, and the characters… oh the characters. Just thinking about this book makes me want to reread it. If the coffee shop were open right now I would ride down and crack the book open and start ingesting caffeine and carbs!

Even if you haven’t read the first three books you could sneak this book in and be satisfied, but why cheat yourself. You deserve it, go get The Blade Itself and take a holiday. When you plow through all of Abercrombie's books and get to the Heroes you’ll thank me.
