Jorg is such a fascinating character. Even from the first book, I can't say I "liked" him, but I was so intrigued by him, and wanted to see him accomplish his goals. I wanted to see him catch a break. I found myself rooting for him in a way I would not have expected. King of Thorns began to explain him better, and Emperor of Thorns completed that as well as finally gave him resolution and peace. Let's face it, if Jorg had lived, could you see a life of peace for him, a simple life filled with love of family? It's a nice thought, but he was so broken. And I just don't see an ending like that "working".
