Regularly named the best narrator in fantasy, and it is not a controversial opinion. Abercrombie writes viewpoint characters with very distinct interior voices and Pacey gives each of them one.

The First Law

Joe Abercrombie · 9 books · read throughout by Steven Pacey. The original trilogy first, then the three standalones in publication order, then the Age of Madness trilogy. The standalones are genuinely standalone but spoil the trilogy's ending, so do not start there.

1. 1The Blade Itself (2006)
2. 2Before They Are Hanged (2007)
3. 3Last Argument of Kings (2008)
4. 4Best Served Cold (2009)

The Age of Madness

Joe Abercrombie · 3 books · read throughout by Steven Pacey. Read The First Law trilogy first, and ideally the three standalones after it — the children of the original cast are the leads here and a great deal lands harder if you know their parents. Then these three in order.

1. 1A Little Hatred (2019)
2. 2The Trouble with Peace (2020)
3. 3The Wisdom of Crowds (2021)
