He's a great model for a broad education in the liberal arts, wisely applying what he's learned to a variety of situations he encounters, and he also models strength of character with his kindness, endurance, loyalty, and commitment. Joe Abercrombie has written a series of 12 books. There's almost no romance, but hero Yarvi does start to notice his feelings of attraction for Sumael. Most Recommended Books presents the Joe Abercrombie series written by Joe Abercrombie. Profanity is moderate, with "s-t" used once but milder words like "arse," "bastard," and "bitch" used half a dozen times each. Blood's mentioned a lot, and bloody injuries are also described in some detail. There's a lot of violence in this swashbuckling adventure, mostly from fighting with weapons like swords and knives, with some detailed descriptions and gore, including a skull split halfway by an axe. I never got past the third chapter of the first 'Game of Thrones' book, I listened to a sample of 'Half A King' found it well-written and narrated and decided to give it try. But here the fantasy mostly stems from the imagined, medieval, Nordic-style society and geography magic and sorcery don't appear at all. The plot of 'Half A King', at least as it was described by the publishers, sounded like 'Game of Thrones' without the dragons and the nudity. Parents need to know that Half a King is bestselling fantasy author Joe Abercrombie's first foray into the young adult market.
