A Goodreads user asked this question about Prince of Thorns (Broken Empire, #1):
Okay, I read about 15 pages and felt sick to my stomach. I can handle a war story/ violence, but is it going to be worth it? It was recommended to me, but I don't handle reading certain things well...i.e. violence against children, torture etc....needless to say the very beginning already has me second guessing if I should continue. Any advise would be great. To read or not to read?

Do you have any idea how many MILLIONS of books are published each year just in America?! Here's my advice to you.
What is beautiful and good to others may not be meant for you. Listen to your gut instinct. Listen to your heart. Find a book that will elate, encourage and motivate YOU. There are lots to choose from and nobody like you in the whole world. You can do it. Chose what's right for you. And on an even more personal note. I admire you for not just "going with the flow" and doing something because everyone else wants you to. It will work in your favor in much more than merely choosing your next book. LLR(less)
