rbixby 's review for:
Emperor of Thorns
by Mark Lawrence
I choose to blame the season for the length of time it took me to finish this book. I've been busy with holiday tasks and family visits during my free time. It has nothing whatsoever with our desire to binge watch Voyager on Netflix. None. Whatsoever.
Ahem.
This book follows the theme of the first two, splitting the narrative between the 'now' 20 year old Jorg and the 15 year old Jorg. This time Lawrence added Chella's story to hint at the Dead King.
Jorg does a lot of growing in this one, not exactly moving away from being an outright shithead but realizing he has the ability to temper his dark side with thinking of others and considering others. This doesn't slow his ambitions in any way but helps him to understand his motivations.
He also understands how he's been a pawn in a larger game played by the Builder's remnants. What he does to fix things and how that relates to who the Dead King really is -- well, I'll stop now.
Read the book. It's a strong finish to the trilogy. Lawrence has a writing style that is a pleasure to read.
