Prince of Thorns by Mark Lawrence
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This book is as if you had a mix of Robin Hood and Ramsey Bolton cut loose in a dark war of principalities. The main character is pretty horrible and ruthless....perhaps the most ruthless antagonist I have ever read in a book... and it often makes you wonder whether you should be rooting for him or not.
In my opinion, the first book is the best of the trilogy and if you like dark gritty fantasy, it is in the vein of Game of Thrones, Black Company, and First law.
