When Gog, Jorg’s young leucrota friend, has a fiery problem, Jorg sets off with his Road Brothers to find a solution, a fire warlock that will hopefully rein in Gog’s dangerous outbursts. The first takes place just after the events of Prince of Thorns, with Jorg having taken the title King of Renar from his uncle. Much like its predecessor, King of Thorns is split between two timelines. Jorg Ancrath is a cunning teenage king that has cheated, stolen, raped, pillaged, and murdered his way to the top. King of Thorns’ story structure, characterization, and Jorg’s character progression all serve to make King of Thorns a much better-realized and ultimately stronger book than Prince of Thorns. Like its predecessor, King of Thorns is a bloody romp. Every time I get around to writing this review, I blank because I can’t write anything that does this book justice. I finished King of Thorns over a week ago.
