Honest Reviews: Prince of Thorns

이미지
Honest Review: Prince of Thorns <Prince of Thorns> is a maverick in the world of Science Fiction and Fantasy community. It is a story filled with bloody and stark portrayals of a world at war. It questions what is acceptable for readers to like and enjoy. Most importantly, it provides its very own take on a story of revenge and redemption. The prince of thorns is a 13 year old boy named Jorg Ancarath, first of his name, crown prince of Ancarath, one of the hundred kingdoms vying for control in a broken empire. Jorg leads his own band of bloodthirsty marauders burning and pillaging a slew of villages in the countryside.

Gladwell believes that social equality, the opportunity give more students the chance of advanced education is more important than luxuries. On a broader scope, I agree.

But sacrificing quality for quantity is something I do not believe in.           Vassar is something of a special case. It accepts far more students requiring financial aid versus students who don’t. Consequently, it can only give Spartan dormitories, sub-p
