The Wisdom of Crowds: The Riotous Conclusion to The Age of Madness

Review In book three of this dazzlingly gruesome and gripping cycle, Joe Abercrombie does politics much as he handles everything else: with a clear-eyed understanding of the limits of human kindness and the banal depths of evil. ― Daily MailJoe Abercrombie is doing some terrific work ― George R. R. MartinNo one writes with the seismic scope or primal intensity of Joe Abercrombie ― Pierce BrownDelightfully twisted and evil ― The GuardianWitty, Bloody and fun ― Nicholas EamesA vivid and jolting tale ― Robin HobbI had a blast with this trilogy. ― Fantasy InnBravo, Joe Abercrombie; the bar for grimdark fantasy has been raised again. And you, Lord Grimdark, remain absolute as one of the greatest fantasy authors of all time ― Novel NotionsA cutting satire of political revolution with wonderfully dark humor and a grim mess of an outcome that will leave you wanting more. 9 out of 10. ― Fantasy Book ReviewThe Wisdom of Crowds is Abercrombie at his best. It's fun, it's engrossing, it's brutal on its characters in all the best ways, and it's just a damned enjoyable way to spend a few days glued to the pages of a book ― Grimdark MagazineThoroughly recommended - a definite book of the year ― SFF WorldThis is not just your average good third volume of a decent fantasy trilogy; this is the stunningly ambitious final section of what was clearly originally conceived and planned as a single, unified work of art. Not only do the plotlines, themes and narrative devices of the trilogy cohere into a whole that is greater than the sum of its parts but they also speak to a second age of madness: the one we currently live in. ― ParSec MagazineBloodily brilliant...This is fantasy as it should be, with blood, guts and broken bones felt on every page. ― The SunHighly recommended - a funny, finely-wrought, terrifically energetic work of high fantasy.

Everything awesome readers have come to expect from Joe Abercrombie. ― Brian McClellan, author of SINS OF EMPIREA Little Hatred is Abercrombie at his very best: witty, wise, and whip-smart. Masterfully plotted, the story begins at a simmer and soon boils over. Best of all, however, is the sprawling cast of morally ambiguous, foul-mouthed, sex-crazed, arse-scratching, unwittingly heroic characters, who are written with the stark and savage honesty Joe does so well. I had high hopes for this book, and it exceeded them all. ― Nicholas Eames, author of KINGS OF THE WYLDAbercrombie continues to do what he does best . . .
