About the author

Joe Abercrombie was born in Lancaster on the last day of 1974, the son of an English teacher and a sociologist. He spent much of his youth in imaginary worlds, and left school with a good idea of how to make stuff up. He moved to the big city, learned to brew tea, and ended up as a TV editor, working on documentaries, events and concerts for bands from Iron Maiden to Coldplay. But in the darkness of the night he was still making stuff up, and his first book, The Blade Itself, was published in 2006. He now lives in Bath with his wife Lou and their three children Grace, Eve and Teddy and makes stuff up full-time.

A must read

Simply awesome.

Brilliant storytelling

I am loving this series. These are the first books I've read of Joe Abercrombie and I'm so impressed with both his style and his thoughtful genius. How do you write an action/adventure/fantasy book with war and conquest as the background and still manage to ask the deep, difficult questions about violence and peace with such brutal honesty and clarity? Amazing.
