This was one insanely sad book! Amazingly written with characters so real you will never be able to shake them... but so, so very sad.

Prince of Thorns

Prince of Thorns by Mark  Lawrence

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Wow... so, this was quite something! I've never read a book quite like this before; mixed genres of medieval epic fantasy type with an underlying dystopian background. There were scenes that made my blood crawl and some that scared me into stopping what I was reading. There were many laugh out loud moments that caught me so off guard and even more so since I really should not have been laughing; such is the power of a good antihero. I commend Mark Lawrence's writing! Dialogue and prose of this caliber is very rarely seen in breakthrough novelists. The main character Jorg is one you would never, ever forget! All in all, I enjoyed this book despite reading a genre I rarely ever do (fantasy) Can't wait for the 2nd installment 'King of Thorns'
