Review of 'Prince Of Thorns' on 'Goodreads'

2 stars

This just wasn't for me. The story never sucked me in and I hated the main character. And when a book is based around this character and this character only, it's important you don't hate him. From the opening pages, I knew I would have trouble finishing this book. Jorg is simply terrible, and when the author gives you insights into why this boy (yes, boy) is a sociopath, it doesn't add up. I kept on, thinking it would make sense at the end, yet it didn't.

There is a ton of great epic fantasy out there, so I wouldn't waste your time on this one. I won't be continuing on with the series.
