Sorcery of Thorns promised a story full of enchantment and danger, and it did not disappoint. The book sucked me in right from the beginning, and it’s a good thing it’s just a normal, dead book, and not a grimoire, or I would be dust.

I had high expectations for this book, having just finished Margaret Rogerson’s first novel, An Enchantment of Ravens, and loving that one. So I was ready to fall in love again with her newest novel. And I did. I loved every second I was immersed in this world where books turn into grimoires and are guarded in libraries by wardens armed with swords.

Sorcery of Thorns crackles with sorcery, pricks your emotions with its Thorns, enchants with eerily quiet beauty, hums with otherworldly creatures. It hit me in all the right places to make me love it. Think Harry Potter meets Pagemaster (anyone seen Pagemaster? It’s fantastic ;) That’s just what I kept thinking. Seriously, if you’re a Harry Potter fan, I’m 99.99% sure you will love this book!

I loved all the characters. Elisabeth was a kindred spirit, loving all things books and libraries. She was fierce and determined to set things right, even if it means sacrificing something (or someone) she loves. And Nathaniel Thorn, he was dark and dreamy. He and Elisabeth complemented each other, even though he continually tried to push her away. And Silas. Dear Silas. Destructive, demonic, overly clean Silas. Nathanial and Elisabeth know from the beginning what he is, the reader knows what he is. Silas doesn’t try to hide what he’s done, what he will do. But, despite his evil nature, everyone who truly knows him can’t help but love him. They see something there that he doesn’t see himself.

This book had no problems becoming one of my favorite books. And it has gargoyles! Score!

Margaret Rogerson, what are you concocting up next? I already know I’m going to love it 😍😂
