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.

Fantastic
* Disclosure - I received a free copy of this book from the publishers and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review*
This grimdark fantasy tale takes place in a world where human-orc halfbreeds (half-orcs) have been freed from slavery and grudgingly given patches of land by the humans in thanks for their help in vanquishing the bloodthirsty orcs. These half-orcs roam the land in biker gangs looking to protect their Lots from orcs and the occasional mindless centaur raid. These hoofs have a fierce brotherhood with strict laws and rules and take no nonsense.
The story follows the Grey Bastards, one such hoof, as they inadvertently anger their human opposites and put their truce at danger. There then follows a twisting, turning adventure revealing more and more of the land's past as Jackal, the main PoV character, looks to strengthen and protect his hoof from internal and external forces.
A fantastically written tale set in an exciting land with a fresh feel to it - some standard fantasy races portrayed differently here, and in a world that feels like the Mexican borderlands.
An utterly gripping story with brilliant narrative and an enjoyable complex plot revealed at perfect pace.
