“I sacrificed everything and everyone. I covered myself in glory and steeped myself in blood. And there, at the summit of a hill of corpses, I reached my destiny, and passed through it to the other side…Where there was nothing. And I saw I’d never followed God’s plan, only the lies I told myself to justify my greed and my ambition.”

Welcome everyone to the FIFTH check in for The Devils by Joe Abercrombie. Only one discussion left in this incredible book! This week, we are discussing Chapter 49: Our Latest Last Stand through Chapter 60: Not Nothing. Let’s see what happens next!

Now, a note about spoilers!

The Devils is an extremely popular book. Keep in mind that not everyone has read this book. This book may be the first time a person learns about it. Please keep r/bookclub's rules on spoilers, and the consequences for posting spoilers, in mind.

Everyone has a different perception of what is a spoiler, so here are a few examples of what would be spoilers:

- “Just wait till you see what happens next.”
- “This won't be the last time you meet this character.”
- “Your prediction is correct/incorrect.”
- “You will look back at this theory.”
- “Here is an Easter Egg: ...”
- “You don't know enough to answer that question yet.”
- “How do you first-time-readers feel about this detail that was intentionally not emphasized by the author?”

If you're unsure, it's best to err on the side of caution and use spoiler tags.

To indicate a spoiler, enclose the relevant text with the > ! and ! < characters (there is no space in-between).

For any type of comment or idea that may be a part of The Devils, just use proper spoiler labels, for example “In ” then describe the connection between books. Please be mindful when posting.

“In my youth I dreamed one man could tip the balance of history. Time has taught me that when one does, it can tip the wrong way as easily as the right.”

“You need to stop clinging to the notion that there’s only one right path. You’ll waste half your time panicking you’re not on it, and the rest backtracking to find it. […] You should be like water. Take the shape of wherever you are and make the best of what floats past.”

“It was a truth to be hastened past with a certain squeamishness, a dark thread in the golden tapestry of Camelot. He’d certainly never heard it the way she told it, as an upside-down fairy tale with Morgan le Fay as the hero and King Uther the monster. And Arthur as the footnote.”
