Editor’s note Grimdark fantasy. The Broken Empire opens with Prince of Thorns, his most rated and lowest rated book: its narrator, the teenage warlord Jorg, is deliberately brutal and divides readers, and the trilogy rates higher as it goes. The Book of the Ancestor, starting with Red Sister, about a girl trained by warrior nuns, is more welcoming and rates higher still; Grey Sister tops it.
