A review by nooralshanti
Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence

Yet another confirmation that grimdark is not for me. I read only 4% of the book - 2 chapters, but I just can't with all the murder and pillaging and such. Also, the main character who is the leader of the band doing all the pillaging is 14. Maybe if some of his backstory was front-ended I might care to endure, but as it is the book opened in such a way as to make me DNF right away.
