City of Thorns (The Demon Queen Trials Book 1) Kindle Edition City of Thorns (The Demon Queen Trials Book 1) Kindle Edition

By combining his own experiences with interviews with residents of Dadaab, [Rawlence] makes the human rights crisis-rarely covered in the media-vivid and immediate for readers....This is a compelling examination of the tragedy of a place where one 'can only survive...by imagining a life elsewhere.'”— Publishers Weekly (starred review) For Hordelings my favorite is the top right small neighborhood (yellow part) of king's row. The rooftops there have more than the rest of the zone and there's also an area on the ground with lots. Perez and the area of steel just north of the Perez entrance get honorable mention. All three are better than the traditional Cap run from the pre-going Rogue Demonic accolade days. Moonfire Task Force is the most efficient way. There are plenty of these guys in most Council related content, but a single Moonfire Task Force should get you most of the way there. If you just need a few, hunting in Striga Isle is the place to go. In this City of Thorns book review I am sharing my thoughts on the first book of The Demon Queen Trials series by C.N. Crawford. As usual I will try to keep spoilers to a minimum however, there may be some small spoilers in this review.

Visiting the camp three years ago, I met Ben Rawlence, a former Human Rights Watch researcher who spent the best part of five years patiently documenting life inside this teeming, sprawling and chaotic camp in north-eastern Kenya. The result is City of Thorns, a superb work that highlights the essential humanity of those faceless masses buffeted by events and desperately seeking salvation in one of the world’s most troubled spots. City of Thorns is revelatory read. It is a lesson in politics, geography, economics, and humanity. Ben Rawlence's book will give readers the same insight into Dadaab that Katherine Boo gave readers into Mumbai with her book Beyond the Beautiful Forevers. This is an important book that will open your eyes and your heart.”— Everyday eBook

As Rawlence writes, for every individual living this hell, there are small things that tip the balance, precipitating them over the edge into illness or despair, and those small things are both material and psychological. You can feel the constant fear of violence wearing away at fragile minds, and the material deprivation wearing away at bodies that have often been damaged even before they arrive at the camp. The deep human investment in creating some semblance of family life is one of the most striking themes in this book, and it is moving, but it comes with a price. Rawlence describes men driven mad by the impossibility of fulfilling the expectations they have of themselves – to provide a decent life for their wives and children. In the wake of Westgate and UN budgetary cuts, and the worsening crisis in Syria, camp rations are cut by half, and we watch with Rawlence as men starve themselves to save food for their children and pregnant wives.

City of Thorns is a good book and I’m looking forward to reading the remainder of the series. I hope it continues to get better because I see a lot of amazing potential in this story line.
