A review by adeleinwanderland
Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson

5.0

I am really sad that the book is only a stand alone, because there was nothing I did not love. I fell in love with the world so fast because of the magical books, grimoires, and the magic system. In the beginning I was a little unsure about the 3rd point of view, because I am a big fan of the 1st, but I must say that it did not disapoint and I have to say that from now on I will prefer books from the 3rd point of view. The prose in this book was beautiful, even though I had a hard time to understand some times, I still enjoyed it very much. Nathaniel sarcasm and his one liners made the whole book funny, but his relationship with Silas made it amazing. I loved their bond. I was sceptical at first but in the end I really loved their companionship. The relationship between Nathaniel and Elisabeth was great, it was a slow burn romance which I love so I could not complain. I adored Elisabeth because she was not one of the characters who just sat around and waited for the man to do something or to decide what they are going to do. No. She was always the first one on her feet, she was the first who took the demonslayer and went to battle. The plot was easy enough to understand and for a stand alone book well executed. The book was action-packed, funny, beautiful, sad and the ending was a bittersweet cherry on top.
