Started off a little hard to understand, characters aren't very clear at the start, it also does a lot of flashbacks. There's something dark and fascinating that makes you accept this, though. Maybe it's purely intentional and not meant to confuse...

A significant amount of buzz has arisen regarding this book and rightfully so. The premise is incredibly intriguing. A young prince, traumatized by injustice and suffering learns the wrong lessons and seeks out his own path of justice. It's KILL B...

I started 'Chimera' with a mix of eagerness and sadness-- eagerness because T.C. McCarthy's 'Subterrene War' series has become a new favorite, sadness in knowing that this is the third and final book in the series. All 3 books -- Germline, Exogene...

Just pre-ordered Empire of Thorns! Now I feel like I should have a sticker, or stamp or something showing it off... like they give us at the voting booth on election day.

Yup - Just written one. Out 2014 if all goes to plan! Not a 'Jorg' book though.
Mark, thanks for adding me. Huge fan of your writing. Do you have plans to write any other novels within the Broken Empire Universe (after Emperor)?

Many classics I loved seem too slow for modern kids (Stig of the Dump, Weirdstone of Brisengamen), Dahl still seems to work (Fantastic Mr Fox etc). My daughter _loves_ Lauren Child, especially the Claric Bean books. But there's no beating Wheel-Mouse vs All The Crazy Robots!
Hey Mark, I'm a teacher always trying to hunt down good books. Do you have any children books that you'd consider must reads?

Dear Mark,It is an honor and real privalidge to connect with you here on GoodReads. The Broken Empire trilogy is quite remarkable and just wonderful, and as a fan of the fantasy genre as well i would like to thank you for being my friend.
Kind Regards

Thanks for the add! I'm from India and am a big fan of your work. The best moment for me in the book was the door with the artificial intelligence. I simply loved the whole concept. I can't wait for the second book! Kudos to you again, cheers!
thanks for the add, your book is brilliant, and although u shouldn't judge a book by its cover, but this one is one hell of art,and PERFECT for the novel, it kept calling me since i saw it in the goodreads voting list,and so i answered it , read it WOW ,cant wait for the next one ,thank you :)p.s if they asked me to hang a book cover poster in my room i will choose the " prince of thorns"
