jennybeastie 's review for:

Thorn Jack by Katherine Harbour
4.0

As wild and strange and hallucinogenic as the best of fairy nightmares. Dark and rich, a lovely gothic painting of horrifying bargains with otherworldly fae folk. I enjoyed it very much, and although there are more ruined mansions than can possibly be believed, at least their whimsical architecture entertains.

I also just appreciate the extremes of the book -- This is a fully committed romance, in a thoroughly dark setting, juxtaposed with an idyllic fairy-story type college and really intricate fashion choices.
