King of Thorns: Book 2 (The Broken Empire)

points when the anime stops action and lets character interact with each other. Character interaction is a bit awkward and is not that believable. IT also spends plenty of time setting up the events into full motion, but once it is done with talking parts it becomes more and more surreal and symbolic, acquires a bit of dream-like atmosphere and greatly enjoyable. I really liked later half of the moive.

Definitely worth a watch. There are very brutal scenes, but it doesn't try to go over the top with on-screen gore, like some titles do. The atmosphere is interesting, and enjoyable, and in conjuction with nice music, later halves turned out to be very enjoyable.I’m going to inform you right from the beginning of my review, there's an innocent dog torture scene in this book and I’ll admit that part was quite tough to read. However, this doesn’t mean that the scene itself isn’t important to the overarching story, there’s a reason behind this scene. It’s really well written and in my opinion, the most emotional and powerful part of the book. The plot actually started going downhill right after this particular scene for me.

In the below review, I had many criticisms about the story, specifically how Jorg seemingly produced "super-powers" out of thin air to save himself. While that is exactly how I felt after closing King, Emperor of Thorns satisfactorily explained those aspects of the story, so when reading this review, please understand many of my criticisms were later made moot by Mr. Lawrence.

Not only they had to survive but they also had to figure out what happened to the world while they were asleep and just how long they’ve been sleeping.

He is, after all, just a wounded, hurt little boy who needs to be loved. Second, I actually liked that there was a mix of the traditional anime style and the CGI monsters. Other animes have pulled this off in spectacular fashion, and I think it was done so very well here. It made the things from one part stand out from things in another part.

To make matters even worse the book is split into two time frames, one four years earlier that narrated past events and one in the present. Yay. So basically it was more of the same. This book seems to be very popular amongst fantasy fans and, I must admit, Lawrence did identify (whether purposeful or indirectly) a major gap within the market. His anti-hero is exceedingly dark, but is that really a good thing? Food for thought.
