Sorcery of Thorns

Upon reread of this book my original thoughts still hold true. I absolutely love this book.

This book was perfection. It had everything I could have wanted in a book and then some. This is definitely one of my all time favorite books and I could see myself rereading it in the future. This is a book about books but the books in this book are Grimoires and they are living creatures that are capable of being good or bad. 

Elisabeth literally grew up in the library and she has this love and need to be near books and protect them and honestly I just loved it. She's very awkward and clumsy but that doesn't stop her from fighting when she needs too even if she isn't 100% sure of what she is doing. 

We then have Nathaniel who is a Sorcerer and the love interest and his demon servant Silas. I have to point out that Nathaniel causally mentions in the story that he is Bi and I absolutely loved how it was handled. He is also humorous despite always being in these crazy situations because of Elizabeth. I also have to point out that I have never loved a villain(s) so much in my life. I think Nathaniel is a morally grey character but Silas is a demon who we are warned not to care for all throughout the book and I absolutely loved both of them and rooted for both of them. 

I absolutely loved the romance. It's slow burn and while it is a major part of the story I don't think it overtook the story at all. Honestly I just loved everything about this book and wish it wasn't a standalone.
