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)

Not your standard sword and sorcery.
If you loved Angus Watson’s “You die when you Die”, you’ll love this. Plot, characters, humour, pathos. It’s all there. I loved the unusual take on familiar themes and the 3 different perspectives. Recommended.

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.

Perfect
I started the Lot Lands trilogy after an audible recommendation and seeing the glowing reviews.
But honestly, I wasn’t ready for how much I’d enjoy this book, and how invested I’d be in the characters adventures.
The story never stagnates, always throwing twist and turns at you. Just when you think you have guessed what’s coming next, the author curveballs you from out of the blue.
The reading by Will Damron is flawless. I cannot fault his consistency with the voice acting and the emotions in the characters voices. Helped me develop an attachment to them.
Honestly, my review probably undersells it as I’m not the most articulate. But if you’re looking for a new saga to get into, I could not recommend enough. It had me belly laughing one moment, and tearing up the next. Will be adding this to my yearly listens list

Enjoyable adventure story
A decent follow up that doesn't quite hit the punch originality of the first 2 books but is still a good read if you enjoyed the series thus far.

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.

A trilogy of great books
Absolutely great
Rarely have I felt so attached when listening to fiction.
Three all time favourites to add to my catalogue.
I will wait for the next books and hope they are soon.
