Road Brother's is a collection of short stories taken place in the Broken Empire. Most characters are from The Broken Empire trilogy, with some from The Red Queen's War Trilogy. I read this collection after The Broken Empire and before The Red Queen's War Trilogy. Currently, this is how I would recommend reading it as well. As much as I would have liked the more personable stories of the road brothers, the collection would contain too many spoilers to read before the trilogy.

I live tweeted the review to each story. You can see the detailed reviews and mixed in thoughts here. I averaged out my review and gave it a 4 star rating - the same rating as I gave The Broken Empire trilogy. However, I think this book may be my favorite of the four.

While some stories I like better than others, I really enjoyed seeing the side characters become the main characters. Mark Lawrence has a way of making you see every character in his worlds. I thought I knew them, then I found out that there was so much more to know. They all had their back story or side story. I also enjoyed seeing how Jorg finally came to lead the brothers. I admit to wondering about that quite a bit.

The last story was almost an intro to his second trilogy. It left me both excited and hesitant to start the new series.
