A review by asamithewitch
Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence

3.0

Jorg Ancrath is a really interesting character to read about but unfortunately, he hasn't had much character growth and for most of the book seemed to suffer from a split personality: It was later explained properly and satisfactorily why he seemed to have two minds but for most of the book, it was a point of irritation. He is a very flawed character in that he is selfish, dishonest, reckless, rash and ruthless but all of this is why he makes a curiously wonderful departure from traditional protagonists. I look forward to seeing how his character develops during the next two books. However, I disliked that almost all his success resulted from either pure luck or an enchanted crossbow.
