fantasy_fiction_and_fae 's review for:

Thorn Season by Kiera Azar

4.25

medium-paced

---

This is a fantastic debut novel! It's the type of fantasy that ticks off my boxes that I expect and enjoy in a book. Court politics, scheming, morally gray characters, a strong and determined FMC who will stop at nothing to get what she wants, and it's addicting. Highly recommend for anyone who enjoys YA Fantasy. 

 

What to expect: 

Unique Magic System
Enemies To Lovers
Forbidden Magic
Slow Slow Slow Burn (but so good)
Cunning & Strong FMC 

Betrayals 

Multiple Love interests (who will she choose?) 

Thanks to NetGalley and HarperCollins for this ARC in exchange for an honest review! LOVED IT 

Publication is September 2, 2025, and available everywhere you buy books. 

It also features a beautiful first-run hardcover edition with sprayed edges. Catch them while you can, as those are limited.
