The Thorns Remain by J.J.A. Harwood

5.0

The Thorns Remain is a fantastic tale based around the Fair Folk of Scottish mythology. If your friends were taken, what would you give to get them back? This is a question Moira Jean must face after a night in the woods leaves her friends trapped in the Fae world in the never-ending dance, with her being the only one left behind and the only one who remembers that they’re missing.

There was so much to love about this book, told from Moira Jean’s perspective. I particularly loved how inhuman the Fair folk felt. They felt dangerous and as though they were looking at human’s as little more than insects to be played with.

Moira Jean and Mrs Iverach were my favourite characters but, I’m not going to lie, I couldn’t help but fall in love with the Dreamer too despite his flaws.

I was completely enraptured by this story and very sad that it has come to an end.

I am so grateful to #Netgalley and the publisher for allowing me to read the ARC with no obligation to review.
