I don’t know why he wanted to be emperor, besides the fact that people didn’t want him to, I don’t know why he would be king, besides a result of vengeance, but I can’t say it was ever boring to follow Jorg in his travels and misdeeds along the Broken Empire, and have it end this way was beyond perfect, it just matched my reasoning for him and his deeds and wills.
This is what a great ending can do, change your perspective of everything you read before, or better yet, give the right glasses to see clearer into the past, the hindsight.
Not the most recommendable read, as it took me a long time (unusual for me) to read the series and to feel motivated to finish this last book, although the second was pretty intense and difficult to put down, but if the blurb pulls you in and my reviews don’t scare you away, here it is for you reading pleasure the story of Honorous Jorg, the boy caught in the thorns.
