Becky Bookworm Book Review - Prince of Fools by Mark Lawrence

Prince of Fools (The Red Queen's War, #1)Prince of Fools by Mark Lawrence

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


A very different but very engaging and exciting fantasy set in an alterative post-nuclear-war-global-flooding world where countries are Kingdoms and the Middle Ages blends with Renaissance depending on which country you are in.
Princley Rogue and Scoundrel of a protoganist and a gentle but battle-forged giant of a Viking make a very animated and captivating duo. As each becomes entangled in a complex and far reaching spell that will require them to survive together for many will try to tear them apart...
Hugely entertaining. Great imagining of an alternative world where current civilisation has fallen. Many superb lines of dialogue and descriptions evoke scenes clear as crystal.
Hugely delighted to have discovered this series as a gift from a student. Looking forward to starting book two.
