Why you might ask? Because I'm reading Prince of Thorns at the moment and it's an awesome book and I don't want to read any accidental spoilers (well... there's that title of the 2nd book...).<br />Still, I don't get why everyone keeps saying that Jorg is unlikable. I'm approximately at the middle of the 1st book and Jorg's actions feel very understandable to me. He might be cruel and very detached from everything we usually consider nice in our everyday lives but I feel that's a neccessity so as to keep his sanity in check. To me, Jorg feels like a survivor, hardening his psyche in the forge of real life in order to protect himself from his past and present.Antonakishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07689804221175786522noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5978497880525976810.post-9939538638445251842012-07-16T23:53:01.744-07:002012-07-16T23:53:01.744-07:00Wow, I now I really can't wait to read King of...Wow, I now I really can't wait to read King of Thorns!
