review 1: Everyone knows orcs are bad. But Nicholls is trying to show that, as brutal as they are, even orcs have feelings. The real bad guys here are humans, who apparently fuck up the world's magic by their brute voraciousness for resources.Not a bad read. The comic relief's an orc and dwarf who like to bicker like a couple of old biddies, only with axes and swords, when their tongues aren't enough. There are a couple of annoying goblins who can turn themselves into fire, which only makes them look like they're wearing blue fur. The really scary element here is this Queen who rips hearts from men and orc alike, in a very literal sense.
review 2: Set on a world full of fantastic races, there is a war going on between rival human tribes who are both essentially evil. Cau... moreght in between are Orcs who are magical slaves or something. Anyway it sort of reads like a dirty dozen meets Tolkien with swearing. I thought it was alright, and I kind of wanted to see what happened at he end... But I was kind f hoping it would make me interested in the fantasy series that comic was based off of. It didnt. less
