The Free Bastards by Jonathan French

 

The long-awaited war has come in the sweeping conclusion to the Lot Lands trilogy--another irresistibly swashbuckling, swaggering, foul-mouthed fantasy.

MY REVIEW: 4.5 Stars ⭐️ 

I love these guys!! Fetch will always be my favorite, she’s a kickass chief!! 

This book was Oats book and it was so good. Who knew a damn book full of half orcs that are foul-mouthed beyond all comprehension, would make me cry!! There are battles and gore and cussing and a bit of tenderness! 

If you loved the first two books, you will love this book and the overall outcome. I cried at the end as well. These BASTARDS had a bittersweet ending and above all, remember, "Live in the saddle! Die on the hog!"

This is an uncorrected proof so these few quotes that could be subject to change. 

*The rokh shrieked as it dove, snatching the Maiden’s attention. She looked up in time to see the figure leap from the great bird’s back, but she wouldn’t be able to see who it was. Oats couldn’t either, but still he knew. The chief had arrived.*

*Ugfuck was a lumbering mass of sagging pig flesh covered in rashes and stiff patches of louse-ridden hair. One eye was red and bulging, the other small and often clogged with mucus. Born a misshapen runt, he should have been killed on the day he first drew breathe. Were it not for Oats, he would have been. He’d saved the hog’s life that morning.*

You have to love Ug!! This whole trilogy was wonderful and I look forward to more of the authors work. 

*Thank you to Netgalley and Del Ray for a digital copy of this book!
