Rarely does an author capture my attention to this level from beginning to end, and wow what an end it was! Wisdom of Crowds picks up shortly after the events of The Trouble with Peace. There’s really something that can be said for the world Abercrombie has created. I’d been eagerly awaiting the conclusion to The Age of Madness and of course was not disappointed…not that I was worried. The Wisdom of Crowds is an epic and thrilling end to one of my favourite trilogies of all time. The banks have fallen, the sun of the Union has been torn down, and in the darkness behind the scenes, the threads of the Weaver’s ruthless plan are slowly being drawn together… Review And in the bloody North, Rikke and her fragile Protectorate are running out of allies… while Black Calder gathers his forces and plots his vengeance. Orso will find that when the world is turned upside down, no one is lower than a monarch. With nothing left to lose, Citizen Brock is determined to become a new hero for the new age, while Citizeness Savine must turn her talents from profit to survival before she can claw her way to redemption. Now that belief will be tested in the crucible of revolution: the Breakers and Burners have seized the levers of power, the smoke of riots has replaced the smog of industry, and all must submit to the wisdom of crowds. Some say that to change the world you must first burn it down.
