A review by nerdyforbooks_
King of Thorns by Mark Lawrence

Did not finish book. Stopped at 19%.
I could not stand Jorg in the first book. Omfg is he the most annoying person ever & not because he’s “evil” or “morally grey.” I wasn’t sure if I planned to continue this series or not because of him. However, everyone says he gets better. The final book is a masterpiece etc etc. 

FFS I couldn’t do it. Jorg is better, sure. I guess I don’t remember the first one being this big of a chore to read? IDK. I can handle jumping back & forth on timelines but the points where you’re like wait, wtf just happened? That was a dream? Or a memory we can’t see? 

Honestly, I might just not be a fan of Mark Lawrence at this point. The Book that Wouldn’t Burn felt like a chore to get through at times & I started feeling that here. Oh well.
