Prince of Thorns Mark Lawrence, 324 pages
When he was 9 Prince Honorous Jorg
Ancrath was thrown into briar patch and forced to watch his mother and young
brother slaughtered. At 12 he ran away from life at the castle and became the leader of a band of
bloodthirsty thugs. By age 15 he intends to be king.
This was a very dark book, much darker than I actually expected, and despite this I felt that you just couldn't help rooting for the murderous psychopath of a main character. Even though the setting is a little unclear at times, I felt Lawrence did good job and would recommend this book to those who enjoy dark and violent fantasy.
