I am liking the covers but i think you should leave more to the readers imagination as far as faces. half the fun of these books is imagining what your incredible characters look like. on the whole…pretty bad ass. p.s. im hoping that the faggy prince thrown from the cliff comes back with a vengence like monza but less civilized after having spent some time in the north.

Any one who gives a poor review of any of these books should be personally introduced to the bloody nine and smashed untill nothin is left but a greasy puddle of human pulp. These books have reguvinated my imagination. When I die, I hope heaven is a world just like the one that Mr. Abercrombie has created.

Well, since you asked, I did read Best Served Cold and I had similar feelings that Aiden had. I liked it. Sort of. My full thoughts were expressed here, if you care to read 'em. (By the way, I just realized my RSS feed was broken from when you switched your site around! That darned Google Reader...)

The cover is simply fantastic.
I’m sure the book itself will also be.

Just wondering will we see Crummock’s daughter in this all grown up?

I’m looking forward too it, and im glad to see some of the minor characters from The First Law series are being given more depth etc… Although i wish Logen had sent Calder back to the mud in LAOK before his great escape.
There are still plenty of branches from the First Law Tree to be explored too, so, hopefully you have many books in you Joe, as i demand to see everything resolved!

I’ve thoroughly enjoyed all of your books to date. It’s been an interesting journey because, with each book, I think your writing skill has improved and Best Served Cold was masterful (I will happily post a vote for it).

I am really looking forward to Heroes; the concept is excellent. But don’t be tempted to cut it down too much! I thought Best Served Cold was about the right length – I would have been quite happy for it to go on longer.

Love the cover. The subtleties in the faces really makes it for me. But, is that really the best quote about your writing they could find? The gutter??? Really??? Sure, it may be true, and they probably know a lot more about publishing and marketing than I do, but c’mon.
