“No half measures. Some things can’t be cut in half. You can’t half-love someone. You can’t half-betray, or half-lie.”
"When a decision is inevitable you may as well take it as quick as possible so that you still have something left to deal with whatever consequences may arise." (p. 172 Hardback)
"When you're in a dark place, and your light is going to run out before too long, you get on with things. It's a wonder to me how few people apply that same logic to their lives." (p. 173)
I am completely blown away. What a great ending to a great series!
Jorg is on his way to Congression knowing he must become Emperor and unite the Hundred against the Dead King. Jorg knows that only united will they be able to stand against him.
As with the other books in the series, the author bounces between several time periods to tell this story. The process creates a captivating world dominated with strong characters you can't help but enjoy. Jorg more than any other shines. I was never sure if I loved or hated him. The graphic violence continues in this book and can be quite shocking at times.
The book is an absolute pleasure to read. The author has created not only a detailed and believable world but the language he uses to describe it is completely immersive. Don't get me wrong there are not pages of description, not at all. Some how the story flows and the plot moves along but this expansive world grows around you as you read and suddenly it's like you're there. Mark Lawrence is easily one of the most skilled writers I have ever read.
Absolutely great series!
Every man has his thorns, not of him, but in him, deep as bones.Satisfactorio final de saga.
