He’s just sick of being yanked around and being told how things are destined to play out. Let’s be honest here, Jorg is not a good guy. He is still the same violent, snarky individual I loved in the first book, but he also seems to be learning that all his actions have consequences. The opening chapters introduce an older Jorg. There really isn’t any way to easily describe THE KING OF THORNS. THE KING OF THORNS builds upon the excellence started by its predecessor. And then I read THE KING OF THORNS, and somehow Lawrence did the impossible. I couldn’t help it here my expectations were so ridiculously high. When the first book was absolutely stunning, and is on my list of favorite reads ever, I get downright petrified. She may or may not have wondered why she married me. Then I may, or may not have babbled excitedly at my wife while thrusting the book in her face. I may, or may not have wept from the joy I felt. Then the sequel, THE KING OF THORNS ( Amazon) showed up in my mail box. You may remember from that review that I was completely and utterly blown away. Once I’d finally managed to get past my irrational dislike of anything with hype attached to it, I gave Mark Lawrence‘s THE PRINCE OF THORNS ( EBR Review) a read.
