Recommended for fans of Abercrombie, Ryan and Miles Cameron
By Captain
Tony Healey is known for his popular sci-fi series Far From Home, and has now quite successfully branched out into the epic fantasy genre with this short but exciting and well written opening chapter of The Fallen Crown series. The Bloody North begins with an Outlaw Josey Wales vibe, this time with swords instead of pistols. It is a tale of revenge and the protagonist reminds you of The Bloody Nine from Joe Abercrombie's First Law series. He is forced to leave the peaceful life he has built after a career as a spectacularly successful mercenary, and has to return to his previously violent ways. It's a very fast paced story with a surprising ending, and the reveals of what's coming next has got me quite anxious for the sequel.
Healey does characterizations and descriptions well, and keeps you on the edge of your seat as the action comes fast and furiously. The dialogue is crisp and often humourous in spite of the deadly events that unfold.
I'm sure this is going to be a very well known epic fantasy series so you might as well get started now. This is one of those books you can't put down.

There's a worn-out looking Russell Crowe impersonator who looks like he's been through hell and back
By J.R. Karlsson
Right out of the gate you know exactly what sort of book this is going to be. There's a worn-out looking Russell Crowe impersonator who looks like he's been through hell and back, there's the obligatory dark hood and sword combo and we've got 'blood' right there in the title.
I rolled my eyes through the first few chapters of butchery and chaos, thinking I knew exactly where this was heading and accepting it with a pinch of salt as the gore kept coming.
Then the book surprised me, because about a third of the way through we transition from the grimmest of the grimdark into something that vaguely resembles traditional fantasy.
We have a wise mentor, a love interest, a humorous animal companion. You know something? It actually improves the work too!
This is not a story of mindless slaughter and vengeance as the opening would dictate. Instead we have a bold but brief tale of personal redemption as a character transitions from being a bloody-minded killer of modern contemporary fantasy into something and someone much more palatable.
Upon completion of the book, author Tony Healey explains his influences and you can clearly see their effect on the story. The man is a fan of traditional fantasy in the purest sense and has only recently got his claws into the more modern 'grey' fantasy of dark brooding killers surrounded in treachery and decrepitude.
Healey's prose is solid, and he is no stranger to writing, with a number of science fiction books under his belt. Despite this The Bloody North is his debut in the fantasy genre and at times it shows.
The companion characters were hinted at but not fleshed out, the story itself, though well crafted, was too brief for my liking. There was room for expansion here, and this felt like a novella that had been padded out rather than an epic. I can only hope the next in the series is considerably larger and we get to learn more about the players within.
Healey name-drops Joe Abercrombie as having influenced him, and there is a lot of the Bloody Nine in protagonist Rowan Black. I'd recommend it to fans of the genre, but with the caveat that it's not going to quite measure up to the standards set by that which influenced it.
The Bloody North is a solid 4/5 and could well be the beginning of something larger to come, I look forward to the second book with keen interest.

Very readable, but not much depth and detail
By bsg2004
I was browsing Kindle Unlimited, and the computerized Amazon Recommendations insisted that I give this one a try. So I obliged, partially because the description says "For fans of gritty, action-packed fantasy in the vein of George R. R. Martin and Joe Abercrombie". The George R. R. Martin part, that turned out to be only half true. Yes, it is in a fantasy-medieval world, yes there is some magic, yes it's not a rosy-Tolkien-esque story, but the similarities end there. There is not a lot of depth with the characters (don't really feel like we as readers got to know them as real people), not a complex story, not much in world building, the internal dialogue is rather unrealistic. On the other hand, the lack of depth and detail in the world and characters may be a plus for readers who like to fill-in-the-blanks on their own in stories that don't provide it..
Having said that, this is a very readable book. I finished it in a weekend. Even though it's only 240 pages, finishing a book quickly is a measurable metric in favor of a book - since I didn't have to read it or finish it. There is action, and fighting, and some mystery, moving at a fairly good pace. It is easy to read, the author avoids using unnecessarily obscure words just for the sake of author showmanship (not an uncommon trait with some fantasy writers, I'm looking at you Mr. Stephen R. Donaldson). Calling it pulpy would be a bit unfair to the book, but at the same time, it's nowhere near the level and complexity of GRRM type of work. Geekery plus for the author, the first draft was written on a Chromebook as revealed in the "Notes & Acknolwedgments" at the back of the book.
While it is post-Tolkien in subject matter (lots of gray characters in messed up situations), in other ways, it's still Tolkiensque (Kip, and powerful Wizard). Another ugh moment, there's one short chapter that is essentially bad erotica, a badly written sex scene [to be clear, I am not objecting to sex in books, but to a badly written sex scene].
Timing: this review is written about three months after book #1 was released, so I have no way of knowing how the rest of the series will turn out.
