A review by blueseadragon
Juniper & Thorn by Ava Reid
3.0
I’m unsure of how I want to rate this book. I think the prose is done well, and overall I like the style of the author’s writing. However, nothing really happens for like 230 pages, and for a 300 page book, that’s a lot of nothing. There is also the constant sexualisation and mention of breasts every other page that gets a little old, as someone who doesn’t read romance.
I went into this book hearing about how gory it was and there definitely was some gore, but I personally wasn’t super put off by a lot of it, until a few pages before the end. However, there were some non-gory parts where some other disturbing stuff happens that I found hard to get through. Read the full content warnings list before going into this book, for sure.
Overall, I’d say 2.5 stars.
