Summary
The long-awaited war has come in the sweeping conclusion to the Lot Lands trilogy, which began with Jonathan French's critically acclaimed debut The Grey Bastards.
War has come to the Lot Lands - and Oats stands upon the front line. The formidable armies on the horizon are bolstered by divine champions, dread sorcerers and gunpowder. But Oats has won impossible fights before. He's a thriceblood, after all, more orc than man. And he hasn't forgotten how to kill. He'll stack the bodies high for his chief and his brethren, if that's the price of freeing the Lots from human tyranny.
Besides, the invading forces are getting a damned sight more than they bargained for. They're not facing a handful of half-orc hoofs, but a true army - one forged from all the peoples of the Lots. At its head are Fetching, in full command of the ruinous power that runs through her veins, and Jackal, armed with the blessings of a dead god.
Brimming with epic battles, surprising sorcery and fiendish twists, The Free Bastards is the rousing final instalment to the Lot Lands trilogy that began with Jonathan French's vastly popular debut, The Grey Bastards.
Critic reviews
"The long-awaited war has come in the sweeping conclusion to the Lot Lands trilogy - another irresistibly swashbuckling, swaggering, foul-mouthed fantasy from the author of The Grey Bastards." (The Wall Street Journal)
"One of the most original fantasy sagas to come along in years." (Kirkus)

Strong trilogy
Characters you really really fall in love with! The story was interesting with plenty of turns. Lots of action and emotion and, despite the grimdark, quite heartwarming, overall.

brilliant ending to an incredible saga!
would rate higher if such an option was possible. absolutely fantastic conclusion to the bastard saga with twists, turns, thrills and shocks to satisfy throughout. All characters are developed to the point of feeling real and all the while developing conflicts leave you feeling suitably tense!!!!!!
truly amazing read

Best of the 3
I liked all 3 of these books and the last one was surprisingly the best which I was shocked to see.

Good ending
If you can endure the first half of a book, you will be rewarded in the second half. The first half is made of battles, fights, some more fights and more battles. They are necessary, but hours of constant fighting and dying is damn tiresome. Most fantasy books are quite predictable, there are heroes, villains and helping hands on both sides, wars, battles and good always wins... It is not easy to create something interesting and well written in the genre. This trilogy is very good, altho some characters could be deeper, some things should be better described, battles could be shorter but all in all good fun.

easy listen and not run of the mill fancy.
I listen while I work and really enjoyed this, some really interesting little twists that I have never heard before.

superb writing, story, and delivery.
A fitting end, loved every moment, and every utterance. the plot twists and turns that you can't see coming, the struggle that the true bastards face, the narrator does and excellent job. It's also good to focus on Oats. A proper trillogy. I hope we get more from the lots, even if it's just short stories. could probably read them out of order too - which is what I'll do next.
