In book two of the Broken Empire trilogy, the boy who would be king has …
Bit odd, the way the narrative works makes it a bit hard to get into. Also shades of Indiana Jones towards the end which seems unnecessary
@dht6000 yeah I found this trilogy got harder for me as I went along
@tinheadned Yeah I feel the same. Might not bother with the last one. That said, many trilogies struggle a bit in book 2 - does the third one improve?
@dht6000 depends what you do and don't like about it. Not for me. There's a lengthy torture scene which I didn't enjoy (much like both Richard Morgan books I read). The character develops, and plots are tied together. I don't regret reading it, but I don't remember it too well. I think the world was just too miserable for me. I mentioned this on an r/Fantasy and the author chipped in with a crowdsourced poll of his fans ratings of his books by "grimdarkness". Turns out my limit is lower than I thought! 😃💀
