This is actually a book of fairly narrow scope, which I think really works for it. So I knew I would be on board for a book centred around magical libraries, but I still wasn’t expecting to fall in love with this book as much as I did! Somehow, though, it managed to pack a whole bunch of my favourite things – fantasy of manners, flirting that’s more or less indistinguishable from bickering, bi rep, even cats! – into a story I found myself engrossed in. There’s even a ball, for goodness’ sake! I really loved Margaret Rogerson’s first book, An Enchantment of Ravens, which offered pretty much exactly what I wanted from a Fae romance – I loved the way she wove proper folklore things like fairy politeness and rules into the world-building. All opinions my own.Ĭontent warnings: Blood, blood magic, death of child (discussed), grief, brief depiction of a Victorian-style asylum. Ownership: Hardback purchased for myself from Mostly Books, but I did also have an E-ARC from NetGalley. You ever have those books you put off reading because you know you ought to love them, but you’re worried they can’t possibly live up to your expectations? Sorcery of Thorns was one for me, but I bit the bullet and luckily, was rewarded with something even more perfect for me than I’d hoped!īook: Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson
