What I liked about Sorcery of Thorns?Īs I mentioned in the introduction to this post, Sorcery of Thorns is a standalone fantasy novel. Throughout this adventure Elizabeth will have to question everything she knows, and everything she’s been taught.
But Nathanial Thorn and his demonic servant Silas are the only hope she has of catching the saboteur.
The sorcerers are evil, Elizabeth has known this for as long as she has lived. Yet when an act of sabotage takes place at her library Elizabeth is forced to act in ways she would never have dreamt possible, even working with a sorcerer. If provoked these magical books transform into hideous monsters of leather and ink.Įlizabeth hopes that she will one day be trained and become a warden of the Great Libraries, charged with the protection of the grimoires and the secrets within them. The great libraries are filled with magical books, grimoires, their pages are forbidden to be read by all except the sorcerers who live in the kingdom. This is no ordinary library, and this is no ordinary kingdom. Sorcery of Thorns follows Elizabeth Scrivener, a foundling raised in the confines of one of the Great Libraries of Austermeer. I was pleasantly surprised by what Sorcery of Thorns delivered. How could a stand alone novel capture the wonder of a fantasy adventure adequately? How could the world building be completed in such a short timeframe? I usually prefer fantasy books that are in series so I was skeptical of Sorcery of Thorns largely because it is a standalone novel.
I’ve been eyeing it warily as post after post popped up claiming this book was wonderful, was it worth the hype? Published in June 2019, I have been seeing this book all over social media for the last few months.
If Hermione was your favourite character from Harry Potter you’ve got to check out Sorcery Of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson.
