Juniper & Thorn by Ava Reid

dark mysterious tense medium-paced
  • Plot- or character-driven? A mix
  • Loveable characters? It's complicated

4.25

I went into this without knowing much about the book - just that there was a bad wizard with three rebellious witch daughters - and also no knowledge about the story of The Juniper Tree. I’m really glad for this, because I could not have predicted the direction of this book in a million years! It was creepy, dark, atmospheric, and truly like nothing I’ve read before. It reads like a very immersive, long-form Grimm’s fairytale. Perfect for October!
