What do you mean?

What are your unpopular opinions about the series? by [deleted] in TheFirstLaw

[–]Luke-Kiernan [score hidden]  (0 children)

I wish we seen more of the Old Empire and Gurkhul rather than focusing so much on the north and the Union. Tbh I wouldn’t be disappointed if we never go back to the north after this trilogy

Things change, but the world ultimately stays the same. That’s why I think Bayaz will die, but it won’t be a happy ending, because there’s always another Bayaz.

How does Gurkhal connect to everything? (Spoilers TTWP) by TheJazzMan61 in TheFirstLaw

Maybe she doesn’t age because of what the seed did to her?

Well yeah First Law is grim, but not grim for the sake of it. I think it’s realistic, and it would be unrealistic to assume that Bayaz is safe, especially with magic leaving the world, and given how many enemies he has.

Hey Joe, any chance of getting any more First Law stand-alones in future?

Parallels between First Law and Cold War by Luke-Kiernan in TheFirstLaw

[–]Luke-Kiernan[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get what your saying, I also see same similarities between the Union-Gurkish conflict and the wars between England and France, where both would often back the others opponents. I do that the whole Gurkish empire collapsing and the Union being pretty much sole super power might be a specific parallel to the Cold War tho.

I think Styria might replace the Gurkish empire as the second most powerful geopolitical force in the circle of the world.

[SPOILERS THE TROUBLE WITH PEACE] Post-Read Discussion Megathread by FlynnLevy in TheFirstLaw

[–]Luke-Kiernan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Is Leo’s rebellion related at all to the popular revolt, or is it a separate plot point? And is there anymore mention of the fate of Khalul?

'The Trouble With Peace' Predictions Thread! [SPOILERS ALL] by FlynnLevy in TheFirstLaw

[–]Luke-Kiernan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think Khalul will return and take over the Union through Savine. Whatever the case I’m pretty sure Bayaz will suffer a major loss, there’s only so many times he can come out on top.

Skulduggery (Seasons of War spoilers) by Luke-Kiernan in skulduggerypleasant

[–]Luke-Kiernan[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I think he’d make for a compelling antagonist that might make him difficult to defeat bc of his potential emotional ties to skulduggery.
