Caos. Furia. Destrucción.

El Gran Cambio ha llegado…

Algunos dicen que, para cambiar el mundo, primero hay que quemarlo. Esta idea se va a poner a prueba en el crisol de la revolución: los rompedores y los quemadores se hacen con el poder y el humo de los disturbios ha sustituido al de las fábricas. Todo ha de someterse a la sabiduría de las multitudes.

El ciudadano Brock ha decidido convertirse en un héroe de la nueva era y la ciudadana Savine tiene que reconducir su talento de la búsqueda del beneficio a la mera supervivencia. Orso va a descubrir que, cuando el mundo está bocabajo, nadie está en peor posición que un rey. Y en el sangriento Norte, Rikke y su frágil Protectorado se están quedando sin aliados… mientras Calder el Negro llama a sus fuerzas y clama venganza.

El sol de la Unión ha caído al barro y …

Review of 'The Wisdom of Crowds' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

J'ai relu mon avis sur le tome précédent, et je reste globalement d'accord avec moi-même pour celui-ci (ce qui n'est pas toujours le cas, donc c'est déjà bon signe) : c'est du Abercrombie, c'est intelligent, j'aime les personnages et l'univers, mais le style n'a pas pris dans cette trilogie une direction qui convient à mes goûts personnels, et dans le texte français, j'ai trouvé des maladresses que je ne sais pas à qui imputer.
Dans ce tome, j'ai été déçu par le traitement trop caricatural de la révolution. Je pense qu'on peut faire aussi violent en apportant des nuances et de la complexité en plus. Le roman est aussi assez long à se mettre en place, plutôt confus et désorganisé au début.
Mais le reste... ça marche. Mais j'avais aimé les deux premiers tomes, et aime l'auteur depuis longtemps ; ainsi, il n'y avait pas de raison pour que l'opération …

reviewed The Wisdom of Crowds by Joe Abercrombie

Liberté, égalité, fraternité!

4 stars

Imagine the French Revolution covertly instigated and conducted by a few influential figures of the establishment. With the sole aim of screwing other such people. Just to reinstall the monarchy in the end. A noble cause, perhaps. And a cunning plan. Quite naturally, things do not go as planned and take a turn for the worse. Things burn and people die in spectacular manner.

Surprisingly, the one who emerges as a complex character is Leo dan Brock. And that's it, as anything else in the book is predictable and happens exactly the way a reader had suspected since a certain prophecy in A Little Hatred. Still a great page turner.

Joe Abercrombie writes top contemporary fantasy, so do get The Age of Madness Series. You won't regret it.

The world was turned upside down, indeed. Traitors were patriots, turncoats were loyalists, corruption was purity and the truth a lie.

Either I needed a few books to get back in to the flow of Abercrombie, I was able to read through this quicker, or I had a better grasp on the characters; whatever it was I enjoyed this book immensely.

"So..." Orso rather awkwardly cleared his throat. "What happens now?"
"The people will decide," said Pike. Orso glanced about him. At the people.
"Really"? He gave a puzzled smile. "Are they equipped for that?"


I have rated the earlier books in the series harshly but that doesn't mean I wouldn't recommend it to others. I would like to give the book (and series) a proper review with thoughts on character progression, emotional attachment I had to them or the fun (and grim) parallels to modern time but that's probably …
