In this beautiful fantasy that centers around the protection of books, Elisabeth is an apprentice in training to be a Warden of grimoires in the Great Library. The Wardens keep and maintain the Grimoires while providing protection against sorcerers who might try to use them to control people and lower demons. We meet Elisabeth who has the reputation as an outcast, since she was an orphan left at the library as a baby. She’s been Director Irena’s ward for 16 years. Irene is very fond of the girl, taking her under her wing and giving her the apprenticeship. One night Elisabeth is woken out of a dream, feeling as if something is wrong. What ensues is a fantastic adventure and a little romance that will keep you glued to this book. Sorcery of Thorns is a book I hadn’t heard about- my daughter put it in my hands- and I will definitely be recommending it.
