theliterarydruid 's review for:
A Thorn in Every Heart
by Kate King
medium-paced
Y’all, this book has the VIBES! I was hooked from the very start and finished it within two days. Beauty and the Beast retellings are my absolute favorites and this one is so unique and fun. It has so many great throwbacks sprinkled throughout to remind us of the source material while still maintaining a completely original story, and giving us characters that feel so real.
However, as much as I thoroughly enjoyed the overall vibe of the story, I really struggled with some of the timeline and plot discrepancies. It really felt like the whole thing needed an editing overhaul and many times it brought me out of the story. I also did not appreciate as a reader the Hogwarts Express comment. In the year 2025, we do NOT need more Harry Potter references in our books. All of that to say, I still really liked this book and will definitely continue the series!
This is the first installment of interconnected standalones, and I cannot wait for the next book and the couple it follows!!
Pick this one up if you like
