En este vídeo analizamos en profundidad al autor británico que ha redefinido la fantasía moderna con su saga La Primera Ley.

I wrestle with berserkers, battle ideologies, and gently poke the gnarled problem of evil with a theological stick. 🛡️ What is Grimdark really saying about human nature? 🎭 Can fantasy fiction offer consolation—or only cynicism? ⚖️ What happens when the divine is deleted from the narrative framework?

After years of avoiding the genre, I finally took the plunge and read Joe Abercrombie’s Before They Are Hanged—the second book in The First Law trilogy. And what did I discover? A failed quest that somehow became one of the most unexpectedly profound fantasy narratives I’ve encountered. Why do we need failed quest narratives?
