Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson
4.0
This story is fun. In a world where sorcerers make magical books to contain their knowledge, the books require keepers. Quite frankly, because they bite.
Elizabeth grew up in a library, feels a deep kinship with her charges, the books, and has been taught that sorcerers are inherently evil.
Of course, that's not the whole story. And Nathaneal Thorn and his demon Silas are nothing at all like what she expected.
It has a strong YA feel, I think because Elizabeth is pretty naive and sheltered. But ultimately it's about true love and kindness, and it is not an angsty story. It is my least favorite of Rogerson's stories, perhaps it's the pentagrams, but i think its just more simplistic than her other work.
I do adore Vespertine and Enchantment of Ravens.
