"Magnificent, richly entertaining"

Lev Grossman, Wall Street Journal on The Heroes

"Imagine The Lord of the Rings as directed by Kurosawa."

The A.V. Club

"[Abercrombie has] begun breaking his own rules. And succeeding wildly at it. ... [R]arely has Abercrombie had so much fun while rollicking through his colorful cast's foibles and witty dialogue - and rarely has he dished out so much straight-for-the-heart poignancy."

The Independent (UK)

"New, fresh, and exciting."

SFX (UK)

"Exhilarating... Abercrombie's knack for wit and grit holds your attention throughout, and his eye for character means that there's heart as well as muscle."

Guardian (UK)

"Abercrombie writes fantasy like no one else."
