In as much as it was George Martin who introduced me to the world of dark-and-gritty fantasy, freeing me forever from the farm-boy-saves-the-world drearyland, I must admit that Mark Lawrence made me realize that henceforth, it is the only kind of fantasy I can actually bear. 
 I may not have rated Jorg's debut that high, but I do have great expectations from this sullen, disabused, cynical and infinitely creative little critter. Actually, I think the main reason I didn't rate it higher was because of the first person narrative, which narrowed my focus so much. 
 No particular quotes that stuck to my mind, but a strong feeling that Jorg is going to be the kind of character that simply-won't-let-go. And that's a lesson worth learning at this point in my life. 
 Well done!
