Please do not skip the standalones! I know it seems tempting because you might think they’re not important but there’s good world building, lore building, and character building that are all very important. Not to mention best served cold and the heroes are the best books of the series

[@hitzkooler15]

Maybe Richard needs another partner for fine works of art like this... Austin can stay for Red Rising discussions

[@LeonC0704]

But the thing is... Jezal changed. He is being... prohibited from doing much outwardly, but he is not the same person. He did change. And sometimes, the outside circumstances don't define who you are as a person. I think the book is also about... even if the circumstances don't change much, you can. You can find good in the situations, no matter how horrible they are (I'm thinking the ending with Glokta and Ardee). Also, even though Jezal cannot do much, he can do something, even if little (I'm thinking of his conversation with Glokta). And let's think about real life, Someone being poor doesn't mean they're lazy or stupid or have no ambition. There are situations in life that keep you from advancing, so I think we can also take it as... they outside circumstances do not define who you are. They don't define you or others. Just because you see others being "successful" (Bayaz) doesn't mean they actually are. They can be horrible people

[@AndrewFrancisIlyrian]

This is such a moronic word salad. What? Jezal is once again a pawn to be used and discarded, as he was in the army. Bayaz just has to wait for the Queen to get pregnant and he can get rid of Jezal and replace him with a more useful and pliable puppet. Which he does with Orso in the second trilogy. Jezal doesn't have any control. He steps out of line for a second and Bayaz will stomp him like an ant. Idiot

[@risajewell-uy6me]

This was the best book out of the three. It was the culmination of what made this series grimdark and the lines of each character’s morality blurred through this book. Loved it!

[@negativespacefilmlab]

In my humble opinion: Before They Are Hanged is the best of the First Law trilogy. But the next series, the Age of Madness trilogy is one of the most immaculate trilogies I've ever read

[@angussinclair1344]

Just to say Austin, if you see this, please please please make your way through the rest of the First Law books. The second trilogy is leaps and bounds above in regard to plot, theme, message and the standalone novels are all great fun. By nature, they are more cyclical and plot-driven.

[@AndrewFrancisIlyrian]

[@S1leNtRIP]

I’m with Austin overall. Finishing this book left me so incredibly angry. Joe takes three well written and engrossing books to play one very mean trick on everyone: here, look at these fucked up weirdos, don’t you love them? Aren’t they funny? Aren’t they trying to be better? Fuck you, they suck and always did. It’s absolutely brilliant, but I just feel so disappointed by it. Though I recently went back and listened to the Blade Itself and holy crap it’s all there. My opinion on plot was similar to austin, but after rereading book 1, it’s so clear that Joe knew what he was doing since the beginning. Every time Logan says “you’ve got to be realistic about these things” it’s such clear self-justification. Or the hints that Jezal is a nobody, or Bayaz ultimate betrayal of all the laws. Somehow it’s so perfectly done. 4.5/5, I hate it.

I honestly believe some stories just resonate with you. That’s the beauty of reading, we all have different tastes and need to accept it, not think they are better than the other.

[@IndiaTides]

Actually Austin fails to understand that in reality people don't usually have arc. They usually falls to their basic instincts. Abercrombie is much more realistic in that portrayals.

[@fidato_]

He is right. Joe Abercrombie only has one trick up his sleeves. It is more apparent in era 2. Era2 is basically the same story, Same ending and same characters. I was more disappointed with the ending of era 2 because it was exactly the same as book 1. Character's journey and development didn't matter cos they ended up where they had stared. Bayaz was mostly in the background and there was no confrontation with him. Will the third generation be able to defeat him or are we gonna see the same story all over again.? The question remains..

[@AndrewFrancisIlyrian]

An objectively correct opinion.

[@sawtoothhorse]

I dont think Jezals story is as pessimistic as people make it out. While he ends up a coward and controlled by Bayaz what would he do otherwise? If he does anything he would be brave but dead and someone worse would probably be in his position. At least he was a person striving to be good forced to do a few imorral things rather than an evil person.

[@lucasacosta2104]

Have you read Best Served Cold and Age of Madness? Jezal is a punch bag during the whole series. Better be dead.

[@sawtoothhorse]

@lucasacosta2104 no I hadn't read them. Knowing that makes me less excited for them since the cynical nature of this series of my least favourite part of it, feels unrealistically pessimistic so I search for optimism in it wherever I can.

[@Yazzieeee]

@@lucasacosta2104honestly if he’s just that pathetic throughout the entire series I don’t know if I wanna read the rest of the series. I thought they were setting him up for more or at least something but I guess not. It’s not called “Grim Dark” for a reason, I suppose.

[@Crummock-bu2in]

Don’t listen to these people Jezal may never grow a pair and stick it to Bayaz but he is a good man who cares about the people and raises a good if unmotivated son, and that comes through in future books.

[@aidanh3444]

What a betrayal by Austin, I knew he was sus when he didnt LOVE Wheel of Time, but this is the last straw....

[@bookdmb]

I think the characters in the original trilogy are the best you’ll find anywhere, but the rest of the First Law books are much more well-rounded.

[@aaronwatts72]

Usually I'm in-between both of your guys for how I feel about a book leaning more towards Austin on most books. However on this one I am 100% on Richards side. Austin way off on this one. Bayaz being the man behind the matrix was insane, the apprentice being his "lover", the two eyed guy being the rook piece behind all the setups... Masterpiece set ups. The eaters being setup for being so insane and they were but the master class destruction of the eaters that made them feel insignificant was so cool. Ferro being setup for future books. Logain was such a sad story but makes so much sense by the end. This book was amazing. Trilogy was amazing. I'm disappointed that Austin couldn't enjoy the book for what the book was and let his opinion get in the way. I feel like that isn't typical for you buddy

[@2ToRamble]

Will have another First Law chat in the future to dive deeper into our thoughts here - was this your favorite of the trilogy?

[@caj10__13]

[@2FaceFGC45]

1:11 This makes me think Austin was the type of kid to remind the teacher the class had homework due 😅

[@morgancassidy6598]

I can understand where Austin is coming from even though I completely disagree. Especially when it comes to the characters. The way you spoke is the way I feel about stormlight characters. 5k pages of portraying the same emotion with subtle growth besides the fact they become more competent in their abilities/powers.

[@Retw86]

Like Austin i was disappointed with the ending since i felt like it was so brutal with not much hope. But as I've sat with the story it has really grown on me. Bookborn made a great video about the "Anti Hero Journey" that helped me think about it. Its more a commentary on how change is difficult and your behaviours have to be constant rather than brief moments of good to actually be a better person (like so many of the characters want to be). As ive sat on the story its really grown on me and i hope it will for Austin as well. That being said comparing it to season 8 of Game of Thrones is so harsh!! Last argument of kings didn't make me retrospectively wish i hadnt seen all that came before it

[@gabolujan]

Austin didn't know the genre he was reading.

[@2ToRamble]

👀

[@tobyyasutake9094]

Wisdom of the crowd. Heh. Hehehhhe

[@glazecotton]

I think I loved the ending because I saw the ending of book 2 as very hopeful. Bayaz not finding the seed was a good thing because he clearly was not going to do any good with it. Jezal was improving, Glocta let Eider go Logan and Ferro got together and it was the high point in the series.

[@tonkabeanicecream5698]

I think in regards to the message of the books, I honestly think its a little bit of a British thing. Americans are very optimistic and always somewhat have the American dream in the back of their mind, England on the other hand and maybe the rest of Britain has a very pessimistic or realistic approach to life.

This was a great video. I'm more on Austin's side in my enjoyment of the books -- but I really appreciate the craft of these books and think they did basically perfectly what they were 'trying to do'. I agree with Abercrombie's cynicism, but it depresses me lol. The 'Why So Cynical?' and 'Value of Grit' blog posts on Joe Abercrombie's blog are really interesting reads -- they give some insight into what he was trying to do with the trilogy, and raise some thought-provoking questions. Could lead to some good discussion!

[@MeanBiscuit]

I agree with Austin on all points. Felt so betrayed by that third book that I still haven't picked up any other one by the author despite all the praises.

[@2ToRamble]

🤝

[@sjoerdth]

There were moments in previous videos where I wondered if Richard was the one with good taste, or Austin the one with bad taste. Now i know it's the latter 😉 One thing I really liked, which you touched upon on a couple of occasions but didn't specifically mention, was that most-if not all-characters who accepted who they are had a satisfying ending (for themselves).

[@phoenixtempleeviltruth8074]

41:55 Completely agree. The number of opportunities Logen alone had to change, to go on a different path, is insane, and he basically avoided all of them and went right back to where he was, because he "never had any choices."

[@CodZilla45]

Do you not see this mirrored in real life? How many criminals say they'll change to recommit crimes down the road? How many alcoholics and drug addicts say they will get clean to relapse? How many people say they'll go back to school or start hitting the gym and never do? Real life is less people make dramatic change than do. Both character types are valid but Joe is more interested in people struggling to change but due to internal strife, history, and the circumstances around them lead them to get stuck in their ways. If it's fine to have hundreds of characters who overcome their shortcomings and become the best version of themselves then a few books where things go in the other direction should work as well. Not saying anyone has to enjoy but this is the reason most people are fans of the series. Grey characters who don't get a fairytale.

I’m not going to dislike the video because I love the podcast, but Austin really had me close I swear with that rating

I was disappointed too, but loved the whole trilogy. But even then, this was a great episode. I think it speaks volumes about how good your discussions are that I came away from this understanding the trilogy better AND even the ending. It speaks volumes even with Austin's subpar rating. So great work boys! Spoilers: Once you guys talked about Bayaz and how everything was about him and his stupid grudge, that that was what every character's purpose ultimately led to, I understood it. I love the trilogy even more cause of you guys.

I think Glokta wanted to see everyone who turned their back on him pay and see how fickle and shallow the world is and what he got was catharsis from his old friend Collom West, but then he dies…Glokta needed a friend even though he was mean and bitter and kept everyone at an arms length. Glokta’s is a tale of constant betrayal

[@dirkrousseau462]

Reading book three I thought there was no way it would end the same as the second book to further subvert expectations. The end made me think, of course I was an optimistic idiot. I felt like I could almost hear him laughing at me, which I enjoyed.

[@2ToRamble]

Thats a fun way of looking at it

[@dirkrousseau462]

Its just funny how we can bascily have the same thought then feel differently about it. I hope you all go over the next few books. I would be very interested in both of your opinions on Best Served Cold. I am half way through The Heroes.

[@uzi888]

Loving this video. Although Austin is getting some pushback he does defend his positions really well. I dont agree but he does. The thesis about the ending that there is no hope i disagree with. Hope is the expectation of something happening but there ia no promise of the fulfilment of that promise. I grew up experiencing two dictstorships. The unachievable hope of something that keeps people going. Amongst all the sinisterism, there is hope in Glokta's feelings towards West, his actions towards Ardee, his conversation with Jazel at the end about something to do in the future. There is hope in Jazel's unhappiness with being contolled, there hope in his interest in the rebuild. At a national level, the union won both wars even with all the curruption there is hope for the common person in that. So i really found it thought provoking in the sense a western fantasy story had me connected. The evil is not as easy to defeat with just a heroe's story but it is an experience of banging your head againts the wall and fail against the establishment but as humans we continue to fight with a mixture of our personal motivations and the willingness to survive.

I know I am in the minority here but I also disliked this trilogy. From chapter one the Wizard was obviously a bad guy. He took every chance to insult or demean his student but sucked off Logan every chance he got. He cheated, lied and went into a rage every time he did not get his way. I read on, waiting for his downfall only for him to win in the end and ruin everyone’s lives in the process. Thats to say, I was left very disappointed in the end. 😞

[@vigilantScrivener]

I have complicated feelings about the trilogy as a whole now that it’s done. Truly some of the best characters a reader could ask for by being shitty fuck ups in a believable way. The what of it feels a bit hollow. I think Bayaz ending up being more Palpatine and less Gandalf really makes you stop and consider how the precedent of wizards pulling up and recruiting nobodies to fuck shit up should give more pause than it normally does. Like if Merlin didn’t build Arthur up would things have gotten as cocked up as they did if there had never been a Camelot?

[@zilord3264]

This trilogy feels nihilistic for sure. I think that is the issue that people had with this book. A distinction has to be made, being "Grim Dark" , "pessimistic", or cynical is different from being nihilistic. You can enjoy dark stories but dislike nihilistic work, which is what this trilogy seems to be at least.

[@sethmegginson5678]

I’m currently reading The Wisdom of Crowds so this may change but the last argument of kings has been my favorite in the whole series including AOM trilogy and the standalones to this point. I was a little taken aback by the abruptness of the ending of LAOK but after I took some time to think on it I realized how I actually really loved how it ended.

I think it's a good book - both as a novel and as a way to end the trilogy. I rated it pretty high. Yet, as I finished reading it, I was a little disappointed. So I guess... thank you for the representation Austin?
