The Sorrows by Jonathan Janz

5.0

I received a free advance reader's copy of this title from the publisher in exchange for an honest review.

After reading The Siren and the Specter earlier this year, I knew that I wanted to read more from Jonathan Janz. I was very excited to receive an ARC of The Sorrows from Flame Tree Press! This is actually Janz's first published novel, and it did not disappoint.

The pacing of the story was perfect for me- I loved that there was a bit of suspense from the very beginning, and there was never a lull in the action. Janz does a great job setting the scene and his characters are well written. I found myself invested in the "good guys" and appalled by some of the villains. The cruelest of characters got what was coming to them, which was very satisfying to read!

The Sorrows is a creepy and engaging novel, and I cannot wait to read its sequel, as well as every other novel from this author! Jonathan Janz has secured a place on my insta-buy authors list going forward.
