About this book

Felt so so about the first book, loved the second book, and I also love the final book in Lawrence's new take on an anti-hero prince. Jarl, the hero of The Red Queen's War trilogy, is a completely different character than Prince Jorg from The Broken Empire trilogy. Though the characters of the princes are vastly different, what has remained the same is Lawrence's deft writing, poignant (yet cloaked in sarcasm) remarks about the absurdity of the human condition, and his wonderfully deep world building.The Red Queen's War is more of your traditional epic fantasy tale than the last trilogy and the world is more filled out, more explained. I was quite impressed how Lawrence builds the world and how he explains the strangeness of it; it's one of the better examples of merging science fiction / post apocalyptic fiction with epic fantasy in such a way that it all makes perfect sense.One of my favorite books this year and a strong conclusion to a strong fantasy series. Mark Lawrence continues to prove himself as one of the top fantasy authors of our generation. Pick this book up (and read the series if you haven't) with no reserve.
