The Broken Empire 2. King of Thorns

Mann habe ihh lange gebraucht um in dieses Buch rein zu kommen. Nicht weil das Buch schlecht ist oder die Story langweilig ist sondern weil der schreibstyle so anspruchsvoll ist. Davon abgesehen ist das Buch aber sehr gut und gerade die Welt, die wir in dem zweiten Teil nochmal deutlich näher kennen gelernt haben, hochinteressant.

If the first book was a crazy back and forth, then this was even crazier - fr every four chapters the story switched between present and past (wich was very cool tho) The End was very unexpected, like, bro just pulled out a gun, basically said "fuck you" and shot Egon. Sageous behaved like a bastard as usual (and died for that hehe). And btw, post apocalyptic europe is now "magical" because the builders fucked up reality, yeah.

A rough ride, but worth it. I must admit I struggled with the structure of this one. Firstly, like the first it is written in first person, which is always a struggle for me. Secondly, the narrative of this book was split into numerous sections, time, places and narrators (though Jorg was the narrator for the majority) so I sometimes found myself lost as to my placement within said narrative. However, like a five tapestry, as we progressed, the picture became clearer. I believe my perseverance through my confusion actually made the accomplishment of finishing this book all the greater, and I'm excited to see where Jorg will take us next!
