King of Thorns: Book 2 (The Broken Empire)

Product Information

The Brothers toast to Jorg, drink and celebrate. In a little while, Jorg finds Makin, who informs him of the pyre he found - two hundred dead upon it, but unlit, and that the rogues were probably some days away. As I mentioned first of, this was a really-really eventful movie squeezed in a very short 90 minutes. Of course, the negative issues with those powers – as shown clearly by their affect on other characters in the novels – miraculously leave Jorg unaffected. And don’t even bother to ask how he actually gets a thousand year old Builder’s tool in book two, or how a thousand year old tool would still even work. Who knows, because Mr. Lawrence never tells the reader either of those things. Just poof, Jorg has this thousand year old tool, and it works and SAVES HIS ASS AGAIN! Really good movie, but surely would had much more pontential, in a form of a 13 episodes long series.

Thorns: Eugard has the capability to create ashen grey thorns. In life, he used them to bind and subjugate people. It is two hour long movie about the world where a strange diseases arrives in human worlds, and slowly turns people into stone. Somebody tries to invent a countermeasure for it, but things do not really go as expected.There is no sound more annoying than the chatter of a child, and none more sad than the silence they leave when they are gone. In 2015 a new virus called meduesa raises it's head and spreads worldwide, leaving noone alive who's caught by this epidemic. King of Thorn is a science fiction survivor drama. [6] After a viral infection known as the Medusa virus lands in Siberia and spreads contagiously throughout Earth, 160 humans are chosen as candidates to experiment a cure against the virus by an organization called Venus Gate. As the story begins, Kasumi is selected as one of the 160 people for the experiment. She is forced to enter treatment and cold sleep without her twin sister Shizuku, whom she cares much about.

The source material is six volumes long; a fine length to adapt into a film, and for the most part the pacing is handled with care. King of Thorn sees a colourful cast of cryogenically frozen characters awaken to a future ravaged by monsters. The introduction is well executed; it grabs your attention and gets you wondering. As the film progresses, it becomes rather typical of the survival horror genre, but the film exhibits a certain freshness as it isn't This is an absolute abomination of the author's original work. Wow . . . I mean, just, wow. Don't get me wrong, my rating has nothing to do with the animation, or even the plot, since it is a good plot, but it's just NOT "King of Thorn." They should have either done A) justice to the original manga or B) made a totally different movie with different characters. Don't ravage such a fantastic story as "King of Thorn," just don't DO it! Mark Lawrence is the Fyodor Dostoevsky of grimdark fantasy, eloquently combining an in-depth character study of a psychologically disturbed protagonist ( Crime and Punishment) with layers of political intrigue ( Demons) and complicated family dynamics ( The Brothers Karamazov). Like Dostoevsky, Mark Lawrence’s writing is beautiful and poetic, especially as Jorg has grown as a narrator since Prince of Thorns. There are so many quotable lines in King of Thorns, some heart-wrenching and others laugh-out-loud hilarious. As a reader, I wanted to savor every word. it is shaping up to be the most extraordinary work of fantasy I have ever read: because you take such risks...

Enough is enough. It's time to stop the cycle of abuse. It's time to be decisive. It's time to leave him, forever. John LeCarré novel and maybe he has a bit of magic in his fingertips, but since I am a collector and I don't have his signature I do need to pin him down and put a pen in his hand. To clarify though, things never get too confusing not to be able to follow, but the first two-thirds of the film are so straight-forward and well executed that I didn't feel like it needed to go in the direction it did.
