karolina_kat 's review for:
Emperor of Thorns
by Mark Lawrence
I would give Emperor of Thorns 4.5 stars.
The story is constructed very well, and only after reading the third part of the Broken Empire trilogy one can trully apprecieate how well-thought everything was, along with he introduction of additional plots and characters. Jorg, supposedly, an anti-hero is the protaginist very rich in character, and it's hard not to sympathize with him at one point or the other.
Particularly enjoyable is the language - great mixture of nearly poetic sentences and down-to-earth attitudes. Lawrence's novels seem to flood with potential quotes, each more beuatiful than the previous one.
The story of Jorg was one of the best fantasy novels I've read in the last few years. So, why not five stars? I asked myself this question. I enjoyed the post-apocalyptic, presence of the long lost world, but I still feel that the Builders' plot somehow did a bit of damage to the whole story and the ending in particular.
It is still a great, enjoyable reading and it made me fall for Mark Lawrence's writing.
