So glad this exists— a much better ending than the book had.

Mysteries of Thorn Manor was a cozy return to the world of Sorcery of Thorns, perfect if you’re craving more of Elisabeth, Nathaniel, and Silas.
I really enjoyed getting those sweet romantic moments we were missing in the main novel, and the focus on the sentient manor and grimoires added a magical, whimsical touch. The story had that comforting Hallmark feel, and it was fun seeing more of the domestic side of these beloved characters.

That said, as with many novellas, the story lacked the depth and development a full-length book could offer. The pacing was a little rushed, especially the engagement reveal and Silas’s arc (which left quite a bit to interpretation).
Also, I’d definitely recommend reading Mysteries of Thorn Manor before A Winter’s Favor - the plot twist packs more of a shock / surprise if you haven’t been spoiled by A Winter's Favor first.

All in all, a delightful add-on to the original story and worth the read if you loved the characters and want one last, feel-good trip back into that enchanted world.

LOVED this! Super sweet and adorable, and it was fun to reunite with the characters! Loved seeing more of Mercy. Loved seeing Silas again. And loved seeing Nathaniel and Elisabeth get engaged!

I don't think I've ever loved a character quite as much as I love Silas. He is incredible.
