And honestly, by about the middle of the story, I really started to like him a lot. Thinking about Nathaniel, I’m kind of burned out on the bad-boy-you-shouldn’t-love-because-he-isn’t-capable-of-returning-your-affection kind of thing lately, so I feel like Nathaniel had a pretty high hill to climb with me in terms of whether I’d actually like him. Also, OMG the end of this book! I have so much love for the ending. I loved watching her hunch play out, and waiting to see if she’d be proved right, and to what extent. Elisabeth has been taught that demons are evil, untrustworthy creatures, and yet she begins to suspect that Silas cares for Nathaniel and protects him, which should be impossible. In SORCERY OF THORNS, demons are creatures from another dimension who wield great power. Okay, and this is very weird, but I loved the demon character, Silas. She cares very much about doing the right thing, even when her heart and her head war with each other over what that right thing is.
A library full of books that are literally dangerous?! So cool.Įlisabeth makes for a truly compelling heroine, too. I loved the library where Elisabeth grew up. The story world feels rich and totally immersive. SORCERY OF THORNS is one of those books you could eat with a spoon. For Elisabeth has a power she has never guessed, and a future she could never have imagined. Not only could the Great Libraries go up in flames, but the world along with them.Īs her alliance with Nathaniel grows stronger, Elisabeth starts to question everything she’s been taught-about sorcerers, about the libraries she loves, even about herself.
With no one to turn to but her sworn enemy, the sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn, and his mysterious demonic servant, she finds herself entangled in a centuries-old conspiracy. Elisabeth’s desperate intervention implicates her in the crime, and she is torn from her home to face justice in the capital. Then an act of sabotage releases the library’s most dangerous grimoire. She hopes to become a warden, charged with protecting the kingdom from their power. If provoked, they transform into grotesque monsters of ink and leather. Raised as a foundling in one of Austermeer’s Great Libraries, Elisabeth has grown up among the tools of sorcery-magical grimoires that whisper on shelves and rattle beneath iron chains.
Elisabeth has known that as long as she has known anything. Published JAmazon | Barnes & Noble | Goodreads | Book Depository About SORCERY OF THORNSĪll sorcerers are evil.
