Joe Abercrombie and the anti-hero's journey: A First Law analysis

I noticed that Joe Abercrombie does something super cool with the classic hero's journey and I needed to talk about it. It's ironic that I was worried I wouldn't like the First Law and now I can't stop talking about it! Do you agree with my analysis or think something different? Let me know below!
