Prince of Thorns by Mark LawrenceMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
This is a fascinatingly dysfunctional book - it sets up a character who completely breaks every expectation of what a hero should be, yet you still somewhere grudgingly have to hand it to him for sheer bloody-mindedness - and yes, entertainment.
There's some slightly confusing bits - the whole thing reads likely something coming from a mind not exactly firing on all cylinders - but the sensation of the story holds up pretty well.
It's gory, vicious, ultraviolent... but also a fascinating read, especially once you start putting some of the pieces together.
