Thorn Season by Kiera Azar
5.0

Thank you to HarperCollins for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Man the ARC gods must be on my side because this is another banger!

Thorn Season is full of court politics, secret missions, betrayal, and a reallllllly well written villain (who I was kind of into??).

This was a suspense filled, fast paced read. Alissa is a great FMC. She’s strong, but makes mistakes and is deeply flawed. The two love interest MMCs are written just as well, one morally grey, the other more gentle and kind. Side characters added a lot of depth to the story, and I’m looking forward to learning more about them in book two.

I do wish that we got more world building for the magic system, rebellion, and royal family. I am hopeful that what was revealed in book one will be built upon in book two. I took notes so that I’m well prepared for when we book two comes out ☺️
