  • Who serves the church? The Devils do.
Man what a book! It is a novel in medieval times with a group of monsters with a mission from the pope. it is a what if scenario of Europe with magic and engineering, and a lot of cursing. It is amazing! Loved every bit of it. Also the style is so Pratchett and Adams; it is funny and comedic but still withholds its gravitas and drama. A lot of things happen, there are plenty characters to keep track of. But it really does an amazing job of telling the tale of everything and luring you with its narrative. Joe's prose is clean, fast, violent, entertaining and as I said before it has that dark British comedy property that, only people from the British Isles know how to conjure and those who learn English in the British council -Like myself- can appreciate. Some people will say its crude and rowdy. I say it is smart and curated with a style that we need more of in the world. I recommend it. Wholeheartedly. ... show more

  • this would be an excellent tv show- there are so many characters to love!
Format: Kindle
this was a slow but good read. i definitely think that as readers, you have to become invested in the main character's personal motivations and desires, otherwise this will be fairly bland for you. fortunately, Abercrombie does an EXCELLENT job at characterization. I felt like each character had their own history, motivations, tone, speech- it was very easy to not only identify each character from one another but care about them in their own little way. brother diaz- our man brother diaz is tasked by the pope (a little girl!) to travel with a band of "devils" to help escort the long lost princess to the throne. brother diaz is one of the less complex characters (in my opinion) in that he just wants to do the right thing and keep people safe. I can respect that, brother diaz. vigga- our resident werewolf. but remember, she's a NORSE werewolf. I loved vigga. her lines were quite funny, and I felt like her character was very intriguing. she at times will shift into her wolf form and be "vigga-wolf", basically meaning she is not herself. she is very violent and destructive and doesn't really know what she's doing until the after the fact. she struggles a lot with whether or not she is a monster, and I think that makes her a very interesting character overall. sunny- probably up there as a fave character with vigga, sunny is an elf, and she can go invisible. sunny actually has a VERY sad backstory that made love her even more. she used to be with a circus where people would abuse her since she is an elf (in this book, the elves are carnivorous and bad). there was one part where sunny talked about how she felt like she just wanted to do good things, so she would fold clothes while invisible and do other small acts to show she cared about her cohort. it was very sweet. baptiste- she's a pirate! my favorite part about Baptiste is that you learn just a little more about her backstory/character as you go along (kind of true for everyone, but more true for her in my opinion). the other thing I loved about her is that she alwaysssss says "I should've quit after Barcelona". we love a gal who sticks around even when things get rough lol. baron rikard- rikard was our vampire. in typical vampire fashion, he could "compel" or "glamour" others with his speech, which was always very entertaining. there were a few aspects of his character that were not in typical vampire fashion, which I really enjoyed, but I will leave that to you to find out! balthazar- I will admit, Balthazar was really hard to like. he was the necromancer, but he was always trying to break his slavery (each of the characters are bound to the pope to complete this mission as well as others). he always felt kind of like an outsider to the group, which makes it harder to like him. I wouldn't be surprised if in the next few books, he becomes a favorite. Alex- Alex here is a street thief that is apparently the heir to the throne. I do think she had quite a bit of character development throughout the story, and she learned quite a bit about herself while traveling with the rest of the crew. I'm very interested in seeing where her story takes her in coming books. jakob- not going to lie, I feel like Jakob was the least impressive to me. we did get snippets of his past, and he always alluded to knowing more than what was on the page. out of everyone in the devils, he seemed to be the one that was there because he wanted to be there, which is something I'd like to explore more of in the next book. overall, I enjoyed this book despite it being slow. I do wish I took my time with it to really dive into the characters, but alas, I finished it in 2 days. after about the 50-60% way, it sort of flew for me. there is a part of me that feels like this was a super long prologue and that the next books will be more action packed (not that this was by any means not action packed!) and more focused on the elves. with that being said, I really hope the next few books are focused on the elves, because I felt like the elves barely showed up in this book. The Devils really felt like an introduction to each of the characters so you could learn where they are at in life and what motivates them and what has led to them being who they are today. ... show more

  • The Best Fantasy I’ve Read All Year
Format: Hardcover
Joe Abercrombie’s “The Devils” is the best fantasy novel I’ve read so far this year. It’s hilarious, brutal, fast-paced, and full of heart. The premise: a young monk is ordered to lead a team of magically bound monsters—vampire, werewolf, necromancer, and more—to escort a streetwise thief who might be the lost princess of Troy. The setting is a clever alt-medieval Europe, where the Pope is a ten-year-old girl and the Church wages crusades against the elves. The characters are unforgettable (the necromancer steals every scene), the worldbuilding is sharp, and the action ranges from thrilling to harrowing. If you enjoy Abercrombie’s usual blend of grit, wit, and perfectly-timed twists, this book is a must. I tore through all 500+ pages and already want more. ... show more

  • Abercrombie never disappoints
Format: Kindle
I have read almost all his books. Many I have read twice. Some I know I will read again. He is great with all the elements of a wonderful novel, story, character, language, action, humor, relationships. If you object to foul language, this isn’t for you. If you insist on bright lines between good and evil, this isn’t for you. If you don’t like characters that are flawed and human and humorous and have subtleties and nuance, this isn’t for you. If you want the obvious person who’s supposed to be the hero to be the best of the bunch, this isn’t for you. And if, for example, a foul mouthed, sex addicted, forgetful, Norse werewolf who’s consistently on the verge of slaughtering her friends isn’t your cup of tea, look elsewhere. I loved this book, my only question when is the next mission of the Chapel of the Holy Expediency coming out? Because I can’t wait. I loved this. ... show more

  • lovely fun smart great
Format: Kindle
The massive dramatic fight scenes got to be a bit much for me. But otherwise one of the best books I’ve read. Great characters and storyline and everything. Funny, scary, sweet - the whole shabang. Great writing! Super original. Wonderful. Hope there’s a follow up.
