Mysteries of Thorn Manor is a fun little companion Novella to a Sorcery of Thorns. A cozy 200ish pages of adorable moments between Nathaniel and Elizabeth we all wanted to see more of. Also, more Salias!! 

It takes place a few months after the events of the full length novel, basically an extended epilogue we all wanted. It focuses on the romance between Elizabeth and Nathaniel as they navigate the magical tantrum the house is throwing because they're not ‘commited’ to one another. Did I find the main plot point a bit dated? Yeah. Did I enjoy the house pushing them towards the obvious ending? Also, yes. 

I now expect every author to write cute novellas about our favourite characters where they’re happy and not much happens. I love it. 

Thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for providing me with an eARC in exchange for an honest review.
