Road Brothers by Mark Lawrence
4.0
After the ending of Emperor of Thorns, I debated on how soon I wanted to return to the world of the Broken Empire. Even as I delved into other books, I found myself wanting to see more of Jorg's band of misfits, which Road Brothers thankfully provides. The summary on the back implies that you can enjoy this collection of stories without reading the Broken Empire trilogy first but I disagree. Sure, you might get a small resemblance of the world through these tales but I imagine newbies will be very confused on who the Builders are and how the world is divided and run.
My edition came with 14 stories, and the only reason this isn't 5 stars is because one or two of them didn't hold my interest all the way through. These are great little asides however and give screen time to more of my favorite characters such as Makin, Red Kent and Sim.
Favorite tales would have to be Mercy, Bad Seed and No Other Troy. Least would be Select Mode and Three is The Charm. (Don't get me wrong, I like Jalan from the other series but this story kind of felt like a simple joke wrapped up in an advertisement)
