Arc review!! Thorn Season, an upcoming young adult fantasy novel with forbidden magic, court intrigue, secrets and betrayals, and multiple love interests, is the kind of book you have to restrain from finishing in one setting.
In Daradon, those who Wield magic are feared and to do so has long a crime punishable by execution. But Alissa, daughter and heir of a noble family of magic Hunters, is also a Wielder.
As an 18 year old noble, Alissa must join the royal court for Rose Season, a time of festivities and new courtships... It has never been more important for Alissa to hide her magic, as the king has his eyes on her.
But Alissa has motives other than royal courtship, as she is sent to hunt down an ancient and powerful magic artefact which could shift the very hands of power in the land.
At every turn she must hide her true power and her true intentions. And she cannot trust anyone’s promised alliances, as beneath the surface of Rose Season’s festivities is a complex web of secrets and hidden agendas.
Kiera Azar’s writing is fast paced, addictive, and leaves you truly second guessing who you can trust. The writing is also vivid and easy to visualise, with a super fun magic system to read about.
For lovers of a classic romantasy story full of tension and betrayals that will have you on the edge of your seat.
