Re: Critique ! [La Première loi - Joe Abercrombie]
861Il faudra que je m'y remette un de ces 4... J'avais lu le premier tome et n'avais vraiment pas été conquis...
Clairement ! Un récit de vengeance couplé à un film de casse, ça marche toujours bien ! Quitte à n'adapter qu'une histoire de l'univers, c'était bien celle-là !EdenA a écrit : mer. 31 mai 2023 13:04 Emballé par l'annonce du film. Et le réal et l'actrice sont plutôt rassurants, et c'est sûrement le tome le plus facile à adapter de toute la saga.
A propos de nouvelles sur le film.
The short answer is I honestly don't know.
The longer answer: with the First Law books I wanted to show a world that's always developing, where the seeds of the next conflict are buried in the resolution of the last, where there's not necessarily a big FINAL BATTLE that SETTLES STUFF and the new king comes and all is changed. So even with more First Law books, people who are expecting some kind of final resolution to the world may well never get one. I don't feel like there HAVE to be more books in that series, I guess. They work as they are (for me, YMMV).
For now I've a deal for two more books leading on from the Devils, those will certainly take me a couple of years to get through. At that point I'll have a decision to make about what I do next, and I guess it will depend. There is a lot of appeal in writing new stuff. You can sell the film rights, for example, and you can open a door to new readers. The Devils was a no. 1 hardcover bestseller in the UK - there's no way I'd have managed that with book 10 in a series. I honestly feel the Devils will have brought a lot more new readers to the existing First Law books than book 10 in the First Law world would have done.
All that said, I think there's plenty more I could do in the world. I do in fact have an idea bubbling away for another standalone, and some ideas for another trilogy. So I very well might write more in the First Law world. But no promises. Certainly no promises when...
Not really. The heat has gone out of it. But some new personnel have come on board recently that may give it a new lease of life. We shall see. Don't hold your breath.
