juliettechihyu 's review for:
Emperor of Thorns
by Mark Lawrence
I CAN'T BELIEVE IT'S OVER
THAT ENDING. I ALREADY MISS THESE CHARACTERS
As much as I love this trilogy, I will have to admit that the Emperor of Thorns was my least favourite of the three (even though it was still amazing).
At the beginning of the series, I disliked Katherine for the seemingly unnecessary role she played. By Emperor of Thorns though, I wanted her to have more page time. We still only get glimpses into her character but from what we do know of her, I was able to conclude that she was likable and even interesting after all.
On the other hand, Miana seemed a little more dull in personality compared to the fiery girl we saw in King of Thorns (see what I did there?? Read King of Thorns and you'll know). Still, Mark Lawrence does a good job of writing female characters- so I'm excited to read his other series which actually features a female as the protagonist.
Jorg's evolution was an interesting element to follow throughout the trilogy. He starts off as an utterly ruthless boy who is seemingly capable of committing any atrocity but by the end, we've seen the parts of him that can be considered somewhat redeeming and despite a continued murder streak, Jorg still wins us over with his wit and humour.
I will have to admit I was disappointed by the lack of Makin compared to the first two books. I had loved his strong sense of loyalty to Jorg and their strange but intriguing relationship. I wanted to know more about Makin- he probably confused me more than the other characters. On the one hand, we've seen him play the role of honourable knight. On the other hand, he seems as happy to kill whoever and commit other crimes along with the rest of the brothers.
My pea-sized brain couldn't wrap itself around the ending of the book but all I know is that it was a wave of feels. I didn't want the story to end *cries eternally*
