The Wisdom of Crowds by Joe Abercrombie

A review of The Wisdom of Crowds by Joe Abercrombie.

Chaos. Fury. Destruction.

The Great Change is upon us...

Some say that to change the world you must first burn it down. Now that belief will be tested in the crucible of revolution: the Breakers and Burners have seized the levers of power, the smoke of riots has replaced the smog of industry, and all must submit to the wisdom of crowds.

With nothing left to lose, Citizen Brock is determined to become a new hero for the new age, while Citizeness Savine must turn her talents from profit to survival before she can claw her way to redemption. Orso will find that when the world is turned upside down, no one is lower than a monarch. And in the bloody North, Rikke and her fragile Protectorate are running out of allies... while Black Calder gathers his forces and plots his vengeance.

The banks have fallen, the sun of the Union has been torn down, and in the darkness behind the scenes, the threads of the Weaver’s ruthless plan are slowly being drawn together...

Don’t think I’ve heard of this author before but now very interested to find out more. The fact that it’s light on fantasy makes me more likely to read it than less. If you’d said there were dragons in it I would have put him on my do not read list forever. Anyway your videos are always a pleasure to watch unlike some others I could name. Merry Christmas.⚛❤

Loved watching your journey through this series! Glad you enjoyed it so much! I'm the same where my weakest is 3.5 stars but I think our ranking will be very different lol

Hey there, first time commenting but subscribe couple of months ago! I always enjoy your reviews!
I was just introduced to Abercrombie and in your review you said you’d completed all 10 books. I’ve ordered or thought I’d ordered them all recently but I’m only aware of 9.
The first law trilogy, the age of madness trilogy and then three in the middle - Best Served Cold, The Heroes and Red Country. What have I missed ordering?? Thank you!

Also are you on the Sanderson train? I haven’t read a lot of fantasy novels. I did just also order the Dandelion Dynasty trilogy.

This is honestly my least favorite book iv ever read. It was a song to get through with a very unsatisfying ending. But best character spends the book doing nothing before getting shafted, while every other character devolves into an unlikeable twot. This is the last book by Joe ill be reading 🙃
