4 stars! 

For me, this book is much, much better than an Enchantment of Ravens by the same author. 

Part of the reason why is probably because of how this book actually has a plot and not just vibes. The pacing is also really well done. The reason why I slowed down towards the end of the book is probably because of how a bit predictable everything turned out to be. I was expecting more from Elisabeth since she's the main character and all but apparently, there's a reason why the title of the book is 'Sorcery of Thorns'. Still, I would love to know more about our badass female protagonist.

One thing I absolutely loved about this book is probably the magic system. The way the books are somehow alive gave me major Hogwarts Library/ Ghibli vibes. The way the books behaved actually gave life to the story itself and I found myself endeared to some of them.
