Juniper & Thorn

Overall, I think this book was just not for me.

It was a very well-written book, don't get me wrong. The writing itself was beautiful and the plot drew you in intensely and the imagery was, while horrific pretty much all of the time, compelling enough that you could picture everything clearly whether you wanted to or not.

All that aside, really the only thing I liked about this book was Marlinchen and Sevas's relationship. They were very sweet with each other while also not being ignorant as to the truth of each other and what they were capable of. I'm happy with where they ended up.

The rest of the book, the plot and the characters and where things ended up, I'm just not really a fan of. I think this book might've just been too dark for me and I didn't really like how everything wrapped up.

This review is completely subjective so don't take it as a view on the book's quality, I just truly think this book wasn't written for me.

That said if you do decide to read this: LOOK UP THE CONTENT WARNINGS. THERE ARE A LOT AND THEY ARE ALL VERY GRAPHIC.
