There must be plenty of books that you might have read that talked about anti-heroes. Protagonist who began on the wrong side of the law. Assassins etc. Usually, all of them turn out to be nice guys. Well you won't find any in this book. The prince is a bastard in more ways than one. He is mentally unstable and completely hate-able. You would never want to meet him. But he is also unputdownable! Mark Lawrence truly goes where very few writers tread. He crafts a fine line trying no make sure his Hero is never a nice guy while at the same time making you understand why. The world and its post-apocalyptic landscapes are just a background on which Jorg stands. Lets see how hard he will continue to be! Highly recommended but not for the weak hearted.
