3 Stars
I’ve used my words a couple of times in the past week, so Imma just gif this one up.
Prince of Fools is the story of . . . .
Okay, his name is actually Jal and he’s not a bastard. He is, however, waaaaaaay down on his granny the Queen’s favorites list and he 100% knows nothing. Also . . . .
I’m nine parts bluster and one part greed and so far not an ounce of murder.
Thanks to the work of a blind version of this . . . . .
Jal finds himself paired up with a fella named Snorri who, due to his size and strength, called an old favorite to mind . . . . .
Now the two are bound together, dealing with a bit of . . . .
And are faced with the daunting task of battling these dudes in order to save the kingdom . . . .
The only thing really wrong with this book was that it wasn’t Prince of Thorns. That being said, if Jorg and his band of merry men sounds too graphic/offensive/whatever for you/your kid to read, this is 100% a scaled back version. No raping or pillaging is going on here. Lots of action, lots of adventures, a fair amount of humor, some familiarity with other popular plotlines in fantasy stories, but sparing the gory details. Please note these books are male-centric, so don’t come crying about female representation. You’ll find that in Lawrence’s Book of the Ancestor series.
