Today, December 22, Amazon has Prince of Thorns (The Broken Empire) by Mark Lawrence for $1.99 as their Kindle Science Fiction & Fantasy Daily Deal. A young prince like no other but hardly a Prince Charming. This is really one of the strengths of Prince of Thorns for me; the easy flow in which Lawrence moves between the ofttimes macabre and the amusing, the latter in a very droll kind of way. So, knowing that Prince of Thorns is another of those iconic neckbeard reads, I felt it only right and proper to give it a walloping what-for. €�Before the thorns taught me their sharp lessons and bled weakness from me, I had but one brother, and I loved him well. Prince of Thorns This is part of a series of reviews, covering the finalists for the David Gemmell Legend Award (both best novel and best debut categories). I came across Prince Of Thorns after seeing it on Book Monkey's Blog and decided to check it out. Once a privileged royal child, raised by a loving mother, Jorg Ancrath has become the Prince of Thorns, a charming, immoral boy leading a grim band of outlaws in a series of raids and atrocities. I'll begin this review by stating that I didn't much care for Prince of Thorns, so this particular review isn't going to join the many glowing reviews Mark Lawrence has received for his debut novel. I saw the book on the shelf at Barnes and Noble, and never even bothered picking it up--because the illustration is too I don't know graphic-novelish for my taste. Prince of Thorns (The Broken Empire, #1) Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence. I hope it can be enjoyed as a violent swords and sorcery romp. It's time for Prince Honorous Jorg Ancrath to return to the castle he turned his back on, to take what's rightfully his. When he was nine, he watched his mother and brother brutally killed before him. The book I've written, Prince of Thorns, has layers, rather like an onion (or an ogre). There has been much made of the fact that Prince of Thorns features a rapist as the main character, that it is far too dark and bloodthirsty, that it bears great similarity to Joe Abercrombie, that it objectifies women. I was intrigued after Emma (Book Monkey) mentioned that it has been hailed as the “British answer to A Game Of Thrones”. The cover for Prince of Thorns never did it for me. If you're a reader who wants to get into fantasy but is allergic to doorstoppers, pick up Mark Lawrence's Prince of Thorns. But those days are gone and what is left of them lies in my mother's tomb.
