Prince of Thorns discussion

I absolutely loved this book. Maybe it was all of the blood. It was definitely due to the way in which it was written. Why do you think you loved this book?

I like fact that the main protagonist is a villain, not just an anti-hero, a villain. I also like the world it's set in & the revelation of that world's origins was a nice twist

I think I enjoyed the fact that Jorg is unrepentant sociopath and the way we get to see the world through his extremely biased filters. It's a fresh experience unlike any other I've had with "grim dark" titles.

I'd disagree. Jorg has not shown any signs of being a sociopath. He always knows what to say, do and think. He does show a sign of a unrealistic psychopath. I'd doubt, even in a fantasy, that any character would exist the same he did.

I just generally enjoy disturbed and twisted characters. I think they have more insight to offer about the world and humanity than just about any hero. Not to say all heroes are boring or morally correct, I just prefer disturbed characters is all.
