Say one thing for Logen Ninefingers, say he's a fun POV character.
Luckily Abercrombie has a wide cast of bloody-handed northmen, scheming wizards, cringing nobles, and other fun miscreants after the Bloody Nine has left the stage. A big thing I loved about The Heroes is how it managed to bring me a whole new crop of characters to enjoy, and lose, just contained in that book. I'm excited about the "industrial revolution" sequel trilogy with a next generation of characters. It's like my father always said: Once you have a sequel trilogy, it's better to read it than live with the fear it.
After all, you have to be realistic about these things.
@cdipierr try Savage Dominion by Luke Chmilenko after you’re done with Abercrombie! I’m currently on Blood Song by Anthony Ryan which I would also recommend.
