Joe Abercrombie
Joe Abercrombie (born 1974) is a British fantasy author. He is widely credited as one of the most prominent and influential figures in the modern grimdark fantasy movement, alongside authors like George R.R. Martin. Before becoming a full-time author, Abercrombie worked as a freelance film editor.
Abercrombie’s writing is characterized by its sharp, witty dialogue, relentless action, and a deep commitment to exploring the psychological complexity of morally grey and deeply flawed characters. His work, which includes The First Law trilogy, stand-alone novels within the same world (often called the First Law World), and the sequel trilogy, has earned him immense commercial success and critical acclaim for injecting cynicism, realism, and humor into epic fantasy.
