Why read it?
1 author picked Emperor of Thorns as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a slam dunk of a conclusion to Lawrence’s excellent Broken Empire Trilogy. The story’s antihero, Jorg, has one of the best character arcs in fantasy. This book and the entire trilogy are must-reads for fans of Grimdark.

Emperor of Thorns provides suspense, bloody action, fantastic world-building, and unforgettable characters. What puts the novel over the top is the ending. Lawrence ends the series on a high point, just as Jorg would desire.
