David McK (3600 KP) rated Orcs (Orcs: First Blood, #1-3) in Books
Jan 30, 2019
Takes an interesting perspective on the good old fantasy troupe of the Orcs, telling the tale from their perspective rather than having them as the antagonists. All three novels (and the short story), however, are pretty linear in the telling: battle here, move on a bit, battle here, move on a bit, skirmish here, despite the somewhat tacked on religious sub-plot.
In short, a simple, undemanding read, but not as effective (or as funny) as Mary Gentle's "Grunts", which also tells the story from the point of view of the Orcs.
