Has anyone else read the first two books, Prince of Thorns and King of Thorns? I picked it up at random the other week. I like medieval fantasy books and this one has an interesting spin. It's not amazing mind blowingly well written but I had fun reading it. I enjoy the rise to power and the realistic qualities it brings to this genre.

 

I read them both. I liked it well enough. Also I remember there being threads for both of the books.

Anyway it's a pretty good read. Though the hero is pretty much an asshole, he slowly is becoming less of one. The last book of the series is releasing soon. August iirc

Edit: Prince of Thorn , King of Thorn. I guess the mods can merge the thread, since the posts are very less.

 

Haven't really checked the book discussion section out much before. Probably would've been a better fit. My quick search didn't bring anything up, but I'm on my phone so it wasn't very thorough.

He makes a transition from dealing with obstacles with straight violence and ruthlessness to more effective means. Still willing to come down hard when necessary but unnecessary violence is contained. They give reasons for it but I'd rather not spoil anything if someone wants to read it.

 

Also if you are interested, there are two short stories set in the Broken Empire Universe. One is in an anthology called Unfettered(which also has stories by Rothfuss,Sanderson,Tad Williams among others) and the second one is here

 

So Emperor of Throne has released. I have to reread both of the books before reading it now.

 

I loved both the first two books in the series, and the first one was my top début novel for the year (before Bitter Seeds by Ian Tregillis came out and blew it out of the water).

Got my copy of Emperor and plan to read it on the weekend.

 

I read and loved them both. I didn't know the third book was released. I'm gonna have to pick it up soon.

 

I suppose I'll just do a copypasta of my review from elsewhere. But this book was awesome and deserves the full five stars that it got from me. Looking back, there were possible issues - characters and plotlines not followed through - but the pages pulled me along and never let me feel it. Only looking back with a bit less clouded eyes could I see where flaws might have been.

 

I liked the series overall. But this last one kind of let me down. It felt rushed to me. Everyone figured out who the dead king was fairly early on. The side characters were kind of forgotten it felt. I'm okay with the ending, but I felt like this book could have used a little more fleshing out.

 

Agree with the whole story seeming rushed in the last book. But cant really think of a better ending either.

Was satisfied overall at he culmination of the series. Gonna read it from first to third books in one go again cos I loved the world building.

I reread the whole series after the third one came out, and I loved the series as a whole. 2nd was the best book for me, but I did really like the third one as well. Even though it was a bit rushed, especially the scenes in the present. Some of my favorite movements in the third one were

Jorg killing his cousin and Jorg killing the motherfucking POPE.

 

I'm still not entirely sure of what precisely HAPPENED in the Series, but damn if they weren't good books.

 

Well to say the truth I am a bit disappointed with this book.. it felt very rushed, especially towards the end. And I dislike how he handled the flashbacks.. but then I am not a great fan of these not matter how well done.
