Sorcery of Thorns

4.5 ⭐️

Oh my, a book about a girl that lives in a library, hangs out with talking books and wields a sword??! Take my money, please!!!

Within 2 pages of the book I knew I was going to love it. We have a lovely and, FINALLY, TALL female protagonist. I am myself a short person, but even I get tired of the dainty-little-girl-that's-somehow-stronger-than-all-the-men trope. It was refreshing to see a tall beautiful young woman in a young adult fantasy!
We have an amazing atmosphere that I can only describe as cosy industrial whimsy. And I highly recommend reading the book in the fall!

I also liked the supporting characters though some of them felt like cliches at times.

The plot was so exciting and things were happening at a nearly perfect pace. I also very much enjoyed the ending.

As far as young adult fantasy (with a bit of romance) goes, this one is top shelf!
