Prince of Thorns is the first volume in a powerful new epic fantasy trilogy, original, absorbing and challenging.
Before the thorns taught me their sharp lessons and bled weakness from me I had but one brother, and I loved him well. But those days are gone and what is left of them lies in my mother's tomb. Now I have many brothers, quick with knife and sword, and as evil as you please. We ride this broken empire and loot its corpse. They say these are violent times, the end of days when the dead roam and monsters haunt the night. All that's true enough, but there's something worse out there, in the dark. Much worse.
From being a privileged royal child, raised by a loving mother, Jorg Ancrath has become the Prince of Thorns, a charming, immoral boy leading a grim band of outlaws in a series of raids and atrocities. The world is in chaos: violence is rife, nightmares everywhere. Jorg has the ability to master the living and the dead, but there is still one thing that puts a chill in him. Returning to his father's castle Jorg must confront horrors from his childhood and carve himself a future with all hands turned against him.
Mark Lawrence's debut novel tells a tale of blood and treachery, magic and brotherhood and paints a compelling and brutal, and sometimes beautiful, picture of an exceptional boy on his journey toward manhood and the throne.

Het begin is al zo zwart en gruwelijk, en de ik-persoon is zo'n rotzak, dat ik geen zin heb om verder te luisteren.

Fantastisch boek! goed verhaal en de voorlezer vond ik ook geweldig. verhaal is duister en "anders dan anders" met behoorlijk wat humor. ik ben verslaafd aan de auteur

A dark book with a hero that is really a villain trying to survive amongst villains. At first Jorg sounds like a horrible person, in the end you even start to hope for him to prevail, in spite of all the atrocities he has committed.

Utterly brutal. 100% an adult fantasy with hints of something I wouldn't spoil for the next reader.

20-7Voor nu vind ik het moeilijk te volgen. Komt waarschijnlijk door het accent van de voorlezer en het feit dat je ineens in een verhaal gezogen word. Ben wel heeel nieuwschierig naar de rest omdat er zoveel goede reviews van zijn. Dussss we gaan verder. Keep u posted -xxx-

Spannend en goed voorgelezen verhaal dat gelaagd is en soms een tikkeltje ingewikkeld omdat je het niet "terug kunt lezen"

Ik kwam er niet echt lekker in, maar uiteindelijk best ok. Ga uit nieuwsgierigheid wel verder met het 2e deel.
