The Thorns Remain by J.J.A. Harwood

3.0

This is a historical fantasy that takes place in Scotland and includes the Fae. It is a very slow book. Which is not necessarily a bad thing. It is more character centric than plot centric with themes of greif, class struggle, family and friendships. However, for me as much as I wanted to love this book, it was a difficult read. I felt there was A LOT of repetition in description of the interactions with the Fae. Many of the descriptors were used multiple times and I felt as if I was reading the same interaction over and over again. If you love character studies with very slow pacing, this book may be for you.
