Here’s a short summary of Sorcery of Thorns:
Elisabeth lives in a breathing library, full of magical grimoires - books that are alive. When Elisabeth is wrongly accused of opening and setting a dangerous grimoire open, she is taken out of her library - and has to face the dim world, outside of the library’s walls.
Here's a short review of the novel:
I didn’t like this book, and I have categorized this novel as one star in my head. Still, there were good things about it: it has a nice cover, a good precise, and some...intriguing directions in the plot. The main character, however, was as bland as vanilla ice-cream, while the other character - Nathaniel - was a ghost in the plot, insignificant and boring to read. The setting was absolutely wondrous, though, despite all of the dumps of words in the novel. It was done swimmingly with the reader’s intrigue and desperation being pulled string by string. The author - Margaret Rogerson - also visited Peterson, and one could tell her writing though stilted was well-versed.
