Press Reviews

• Tamsyn Muir, New York Times bestselling author of Gideon the Ninth

  The Devils is just an incredibly fun, incredibly action-packed and, by the end, incredibly affecting book. It slammed the living shit out of me

• Django Wexler, author of How to Become a Dark Lord and Die Trying

  The Devils is Joe Abercrombie at his best: exciting, witty, vicious. History buffs (like me!) will love the fantasy-historical setting overflowing with brilliant little details

• Nicholas Eames, author of Kings of the Wyld

  Joe Abercrombie is, to me, the undisputed master of creating deep, distinct characters that leap off the page, and never more so than in The Devils. This book is hilarious, profound, tragic, and so thrillingly paced one scarcely has time to breathe between one calamitous adventure and the next. I loved every page, and can't wait to see where the story goes from here. Straight to hell, I hopefully suspect!

• Jeremy Szal

  Visceral, vivid, and violent, The Devils is exceptionally good. Every page is laced with an edge, an energy, written with a fiercely confident voice that demands and deserves your attention. Packed with insightful commentary and sharp wit, this is a delightfully irreverent tale from a master of his craft. If competing works of fantasy literature are a forest, Abercrombie is a damn flamethrower

• Christopher Buehlman, author of The Blacktongue Thief

  Deliciously wicked, surprisingly moving. The Dirty Dozen, but fantasy, and with literal monsters. An irresistible vampire, an undying knight, a not-to-be-f***ed with librarian, and the lustiest, most killy, most entertaining werewolf in fantasy or horror conspire to elevate a turdish thief to the throne of empire in this razor-sharp, genre-bending romp. Abercrombie's best to date. Beware

• Pierce Brown, the Number 1 New York Times bestselling author of RED RISING

  Devilish fun, an unholy delight. Wielding his trademarked grit and stiletto-sharp prose, Abercrombie is at his bloody best weaving a tale of monstrous heroes who discover the humanity in themselves.

• Pierce Brown, Number 1 New York Times bestselling author of Red Rising

• Anthony Ryan, New York Times bestselling author of A Tide of Black Steel

  Mixing the central conceit of Suicide Squad with Hammer Horror vibes, as viewed via the lens of alternate history, Joe Abercrombie's The Devils is a gore splattered roller coaster ride from start to finish. Probably the most fun you can have reading a fantasy novel

• Hildur Knútsdóttir, author of The Night Guest

  Bloody, eloquent, and so fucking charming!
