Mark Lawrence: Prince of Thorns (2011, Voyage) 4 stars

Review of 'Prince of Thorns' on 'Goodreads'

4 stars

I liked it more than I thought I would. It's still too dark and grisly for my taste, but Jorg is a fun Roose Bolton-esque character to root for. Will definitely read the rest of the series and more from Mark Lawrence.

While the grimdarkness is excessive, and the gore, the setting is interesting and the characters are memorable. It does get a little silly at some points with the excess.
