Sorcery Of Thorns - Blog Posts

so finished reading Margaret Rogerson's "Sorcery of Thorns" and I need to get them out. First off I enjoyed this book the main character Elisabeth was interesting and her growth was fun to watch, the love interest Nathaniel was a smart-ass and that was just really funny to me but the blurb (??is that how you spell the summary of the back idk but that thing) called him her "sworn enemy" which was just ?no? she was confused and wary towards him due to preconceived ideas about sorcery but he was hardly an enemy in her mind so bit misleading, there were a lot of moments of humour (mostly from Nathaniel by being a smart-ass but other characters definitely also contributed as well)

Overall, a fun read and would recommend to others

Title: Sorcery of Thorns

Author: Margaret Rogerson

Page length: 456

Synopsis: All sorcerers are evil. Elisabeth has known that as long as she has known anything. Raised as a foundling in one of Austermeer’s Great Libraries, Elisabeth has grown up among the tools of sorcery—magical grimoires that whisper on shelves and rattle beneath iron chains. If provoked, they transform into grotesque monsters of ink and leather. She hopes to become a warden, charged with protecting the kingdom from their power. Then an act of sabotage releases the library’s most dangerous grimoire. Elisabeth’s desperate intervention implicates her in the crime, and she is torn from her home to face justice in the capital. With no one to turn to but her sworn enemy, the sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn, and his mysterious demonic servant, she finds herself entangled in a centuries-old conspiracy. Not only could the Great Libraries go up in flames, but the world along with them. As her alliance with Nathaniel grows stronger, Elisabeth starts to question everything she’s been taught—about sorcerers, about the libraries she loves, even about herself. For Elisabeth has a power she has never guessed, and a future she could never have imagined.
