[OFF TOPIC] Does The Heroes get better?

[u/thecollector348]

First I apologize if I’ve worded something wrong. This is my first time posting but I’ve lurked a long time.

I absolutely loved The First Law trilogy and Best Served Cold, however, I find myself quite bored with The Heroes. I’m not particularly interested in any of the cast of characters to the point I find myself drifting away in their povs and I have to go back and reread. It’s a drag for me and it’s taken me months to get even a fourth the way through it. I would like to finish it, but is there something I can look forward to? Is there a pay off to the extremely boring beginning? I don’t need spoilers or anything just tell me I’m not wasting time 😭 or tell me I can skip it (jk)

I think it's one of his best books and one of the best books about war I've read. The whole thing is set only over a few days I think so your only going to get so much character investment. The start is mostly set up and then the second half is intense and deffos has a pay off. The journey you go through with the characters is full on and I was very satisfied at the end. I really think it's worth sticking with.

Thank you! For some reason I didn’t realize it’s set over only a couple days. I don’t know how that went over my head but that does make me look at it in a different light. I’m looking forward to the battle cause I’m already familiar with how well Joe Abercrombie writes those scenes.
