Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret RogersonMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I absolutely loved this book.
After reading "An Enchantment of Ravens" last year, I knew that Margaret Rogerson was an auto-buy author for me. So, naturally, when this book was announced, I pre-ordered it. I even included it in my (since-deleted) 5 Star Predictions video on my abandoned youtube channel (big rip).
I finally read it, and I am happy to say that it's a new favorite book.
What do I begin with? First, I have to mention the writing. This is some of the most beautiful prose I have ever read. The way the setting is described in this book is unlike any other YA book I've read. You feel wholly there, alongside the characters, no matter the setting. The words used to describe the atmosphere are perfect and flowery and it's so clear that they were thought about before being used. Even better is the dialogue, and (to my immense joy) the characters.
My biggest qualm with "An Enchantment of Ravens" is that I loved the characters, but wished they had been more fleshed out. This book solves that problem for me, and has now introduced me to what may be my new favorite trio in a book series. Elizabeth is the heroine I've always craved more of, Nathaniel is the badass wizard I've always wanted to fall in love with (and he's bisexual!!!!!!!!!), and Silas is the demonic best friend I've always wanted (also I just really have a soft spot for characters named Silas, don't @ me.)
I could spend ages going on and on about this book, but I must simply just ask you to read it! You'll love the characters and you'll adore the plotline. It's a book about a girl who loves books saving books while fighting books and IT'S METAFICTION IN IT'S PUREST FORM. GO READ THIS BOOK!
