Praise for The Dark Defiles
"A finale that displays all the purposefully hard edges and grim
magnificence that made the first two volumes stand
out."--Kirkus Reviews
"Morgan brings his mammoth A Land Fit for Heroes fantasy trilogy to
a rousing conclusion. . . . Expect surprises and suspense, along
with the usual derring-do and entertaining
characters."--Booklist Praise for Richard K. Morgan and his
acclaimed series, A Land Fit for Heroes "Bold, brutal, and
making no compromises--Richard K. Morgan doesn't so much twist the
cliches of fantasy as take an axe to them. Then set fire to
them."--Joe Abercrombie "Morgan has taken traditional sword
and sorcery tropes and given them a hard, contemporary kick. The
anitithesis of the cosy fairytale, this one is for big
boys."--The Times (London) "A crisp stylist who
demonstrates equal facility with action scenes and angst."--The New
York Times Book Review "A full-immersion experience, uncompromising
and bleakly magnificent."--Kirkus Reviews
