Nathaniel Thorn is one of my new book boyfriends. Her strength and conviction to do what is right are inspiring. I really connected with her love of books and curiosity. I felt like I was walking in the library with Elisabeth who is the main character. In Sorcery of Thorns, the world-building is fantastic and descriptive. To clear her name she might have to trust one of the sorcerers but can she trust someone who she has been told is evil to help her?I love Margaret Rogerson’s first book An Enchantment of Ravens and only had one complaint and that was the world-building wasn’t very strong. When she is falsely accused of a crime against the library, she is given over to the sorcerers to be punished.

Elisabeth has been taught all sorcerers are evil. My ReviewAll of Elisabeth’s life she has lived in one of the Great Libraries and is hoping to train to become a Warden of the Library. With no one to turn to but her sworn enemy, the sorcerer Nathan. Then an act of sabotage releases the library’s most dangerous grimoire, and Elisabeth is implicated in the crime. If provoked, they transform into grotesque monsters of ink and leather. Raised as a foundling in one of Austermeer’s Great Libraries, Elisabeth has grown up among the tools of sorcery-magical grimoires that whisper on shelves and rattle beneath iron chains. Elisabeth has known that as long as she has known anything. “If you loved the Hogwarts Library…you’ll be right at home at Summershall.” -Katherine Arden, New York Times bestselling author of The Bear and the Nightingaleįrom the New York Times bestselling author of An Enchantment of Ravens comes an “enthralling adventure” (Kirkus Reviews, starred review) about an apprentice at a magical library who must battle a powerful sorcerer to save her kingdom.Īll sorcerers are evil. “A bewitching gem.I absolutely loved every moment of this story.” -Stephanie Garber, #1 New York Times bestselling author of the Caraval series
