Emperor of Thorns by Mark Lawrence
adventurous
dark
medium-paced
5.0
Phenomenal end to a phenomenal series. By God, am I going to miss little Jorgy!
Like the previous books in this series, this final one is full of murder, mayhem, and things that will make your skin crawl. And yes, I loved every minute of it. Even though I found it a satisfying conclusion plot-wise (The Dead King and the references to the Builders and their goals finally make sense to me), I do still wish we had more time with Jorg. His characterization had a fascinating progression, and the people he surrounded himself with were delightfully mysterious and intriguing as well—I want books from Makin, Katherine, Miana, and Rike’s POV (although I’m guessing Rike’s would just be “where’s the loot” over and over). I’m not ready to leave this world, but so happy I got to experience it.
