aranafyre 's review for:
Thorn Jack
by Katherine Harbour
The only reason this is not a five star review is I had some trouble getting into it at the beginning. Her prose was a bit too something and her descriptions were a bit over the top. I like my mythology and symbolism just a tinch more subtle.
Then I found myself captivated. The descriptions stopped being a hindrance to me enjoying the story and became beautiful paths into this dark autumn world. I love Finn and her friends. She was both vulnerable and strong. She was fierce as a folktale heroine should be. And she balanced concern for her friends wellbeing with knowing they had her back. I also loved Jack.
This was everything I love in modern fantasy. Dark, dangerous fae skirting our modern, not as mundane as we thought it was world. Perfect read for October.
