About Prince of Thorns
The most deliberately transgressive book on this list: a fourteen-year-old prince who is genuinely villainous, navigating a post-apocalyptic fantasy world with the tactical intelligence of someone much older. For Game of Thrones readers who want to go darker, to a place where no character serves as a moral anchor. Lawrence gives Jorg the interior logic of a damaged person rather than the simple menace of a cartoon villain.
