About this listen
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)

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.

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.

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.

Truly Epic.
Damn what a conclusion to a fantastic series, an absolute awesome read thats fun, action packed, a vulgar hilarious tale will have you enthralled from start to finish. The third book The Free Bastards has character building that you will truly love with great depth to them. The camaraderie between the three main protagonists is brilliant. The plot and setting is excellent and in this book it has one of the most epic battles when centaurs blood curdling thirst for killing when the blood moon rises will take your breathaway. You will and laugh and cry when your favourite characters have to fight for their very survival against the frails to keep their homes known as the Lot Lands. When war finally comes to ahead between the Lots and Hisparta, The half orc mongrels must unite with some outside help to try and overcome the might of the bluebloods. There will be losses, but can they be finally free from tyranny. Read to find out, I promise you will not regret it. The narrator Will Damron gives an excellent preformence, highly recommended. LIVE IN THE SADDLE, DIE ON THE Hog.....😁💥🐗🐗🐗

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
