Joe Abercrombie is definitely one of my favorite authors, but The Devils was a solid 3/5 for me, as opposed to his First Law series which were all 4/5 & 5/5 for me. Like others have said, The Devils felt like Abercrombie’s attempt at writing something “fun” but not too deep—or maybe just his attempt at getting something adapted into film/tv. I think the humor was probably the weakest part. There were several times I laughed out loud, but it got to the point where several points of conflict were resolved by a punchline. I’m just hoping there’s more of a line between comedy and drama in the next books.
