The Thorns Remain by J.J.A. Harwood

4.0

This book really grew on me as it went on and I did really enjoy it in the end. If I’m being honest, my main gripe is that the parts for the book are all very long meaning it was hard to set time to just sit and read it because I’m one of those people who doesn’t like to stop mid chapter. I think if it was separated into smaller chapters I would’ve raced through this book.

The feelings and characters are complicated and intertwined, the village feeling is developed carefully and the way the community pulls on each other is very well done. It’s also very witty at times and Moira Jean’s character is stubborn but endearing.
