Readers need to feel invested in the characters first, and this, I feel, has been successfully delivered. There’s a huge cast of characters in The Heroes, and Abercrombie made sure to introduce the characters to the readers first. Bremer dan Gorst, for example, has become one of the main POV characters in this book. This is crucial many side characters from the first trilogy and Best Served Cold played a bigger role this time. Although The Heroes can be read as a standalone, and it indeed has a self-contained story, I strongly suggest that you read The First Law trilogy and Best Served Cold first.

The Heroes has been claimed by many Abercrombie’s fans to be his best book so far, and although I disagree because in my opinion that crown still belongs to Last Argument of Kings, I rank The Heroes as his third-best work so far. The Heroes depicted an unforgettable three days of intricate battles Joe Abercrombie has once again proved himself to be my shining star in grimdark fantasy.įor me, there’s simply no one that can write grimdark fantasy as good as Abercrombie. ![]() I have a Booktube channel now!
