A review by magicalshelves
Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence

Did not finish book.
DNF at 70%.

Wow, this was incredibly disappointing. Reading this book was torturous, I was pushing myself to read it even though I was not enjoying it. This book is like Game of Thrones but told only through the perspective of Joffrey. The main character, Jorg, is completely unlikeable and I didn't give two shits about his band of brothers. Every chapter, Jorg, who is thirteen, is either raping someone, killing someone or being an outright psychopath. Joffrey was a really shitty, and violent thirteen year old also but at least Joffrey was the villain and not the supposed hero of the book. Jorg is too monstrous to even connect to. Plus, I was finding it really hard to believe that a thirteen year old could control and lead a group of violent thugs who were years older and much stronger than him.

Also, you can rape girls, kill men, and resort to cannibalism but you can't say the work fuck? "Fecking hell" this book was bad.
