A review by jla
Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence

dark tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Strong character development? Yes
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated
  • Diverse cast of characters? Yes
  • Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.5

This book is dark and messed up. Jorg is one of the worst villain/anti-hero that I've read.   I'm not completely sure what's happening in this series as far as world building.  I don't understand why people follow Jorg and how he keeps surviving.  I basically spent the book dreading the death of every character I liked. </ spoiler>
