There’s always something more behind the things the author writes, something intelligent. The writing was brilliant, but I didn’t expect anything less after reading Prince of Thorns. Every moment can get a new, razorsharp edge when you turn the page, something you didn’t expect and leaves you doubting all the others things that happened. It’s great to see how things unravel, or seem to unravel (you never know for sure with this book). “Is this another mindtrick or is this real?”, “Is this Sageous again, or Chella? Or am I just being paranoid?” You knever know where the things you read are going to lead you (and Jorg), it’s an adventure for Jorg aswell as for the reader. I really loved the way the author kept me guessing. There were a few moments that really touched me: the scene with Janey, the things that happened under Halradra and Justice, poor Justice, got some sad sighs out of me. Although he doesn’t want to admit it, he’s changing, he cares.Ī big part of him is still consumed with hate and the echoes of the hurt that has haunted him all these years, and there are dark forces digging its claws into him, so bad little Jorgy isn’t entirely gone. To be fair though, Jorg seems a bit kinder in this second installment of the Broken Empire Trilogy. Great right? Though Jorg would definitely make a worse Emperor than the Prince of Arrows, I still want Jorg to win. Nope, if I want an Emperor, it’s going to be Jorg.
This Prince of Arrow seems to think he’s the one to take the Emperor’s throne (destined maybe?), feed the poor and bring peace to the torn and scattered countries. Handsome, wavy golden hair, strong, kind, a knight in shining armour. So, Jorg is King now! But he hasn’t had the chance to properly warm his throne when Prince Charming comes along. The fact that I did want to know so badly kept me reading on without pause though.īack to the story. That doesn’t mean the book wasn’t fast paced, it was! I just really wanted to know what was in the box. I wanted to know what happened the day Jorg went to Père Lachaise.
That’s why I wanted things to move along a little bit faster somewhere around the middle of the book. If you dangle bits of information in front of me, hinting at some kind of mystery that will be solved further on in the book, I get impatient. It’s totally my fault though, I’m an impatient kind of person. I always seem to have a little trouble with split storylines. We also get a little insight in Katherine Ap Scorron’s thoughts as Jorg reads her diary entries, scattered across the land by the wind due to an event we can only guess at, but when reading the prologue, you know something big has/is going to happen. The book is split into two storylines: one in the present, 4 years after Jorg took Renar Castle and one in the past, 4 years earlier, right after Jorg became King. I’ll need some time to process this book, think about it a few days, let everything settle in my mind. You’re staring at that last pages, thinking: “What the hell just happened here”. You want more, but there isn’t anything more to read. I think I have some kind of book hangover, most of you will know the feeling: you finish a great book and there’s a hole left inside of you.
