About this listen
Europe stares into the abyss.
Plague and famine stalk the land, monsters lurk in every shadow and greedy princes care for nothing but their own ambitions. Only one thing is certain: the elves will come again, and they will eat everyone.
Sometimes, only the darkest paths lead towards the light. Paths on which the righteous will not dare to tread . . .
And so, buried beneath the sacred splendour of the Celestial Palace, is the secret Chapel of the Holy Expediency. For its congregation of convicted monsters there are no sins that have not been committed, no lines that will not be crossed, and no mission that cannot be turned into a disastrous bloodbath.
Now the hapless Brother Diaz must somehow bind the worst of the worst to a higher cause: to put a thief on the throne of Troy, and unite the sundered church against the coming apocalypse.
When you're headed through hell, you need the devils on your side.

The Devils
Abercrombie's storytelling and Pacey performance both en forme. The Devils gives us an intriguing parallel world, a ragtag fellowship of lovable monsters, a quirky quest, and thrilling action. But it’s the inner monologues and banter—mostly perfect, often wise, always insightful—that make you smile, laugh, and occasionally wince. Classic Abercrombie, with just the right amount of madness.

Fantastic!
You will get everything what you'd expect from Joe Abercrombie and Pacey duo. Great language, great narration, and of course the characters are just something that only Joe can do!!!

worth it for the narration alone
Joe Abercrombie's writing is so well matched to Steven Pacey's narration, if anyone else ever narrates his books I couldn't listen to it. I'd never read his books either because Pacey for me makes the characters come alive better than my internal voice ever could. This book, the writing style and the characters all feel like familiar First Law Joe Abercrombie and whilst some may say it's same old same old, I love it and am not disappointed in the slightest.

Same story
Firstly, Steven Pacey is at his brilliant best as usual.
Now, the disappointments - JB has written this story again and again. Essentially, the Same characters, same interactions, same storyline,..... Such a shame. I've always liked his books and I know repetition appeals to some readers but this is one too many for me. Soz :(
