Reviewer: Angelina, Grade 11

Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson is an enchanting, YA fantasy novel full of beautiful imagery and a plot that kept me on the edge of my seat. The book follows 17 year old Elisabeth Scrivner who has grown up in a library full of magical books called grimoires, some of which can change into dangerous creatures. When one of the grimoires transforms and is set free, Elisabeth is wrongly accused of treason and thrust into an adventure full of mystery, conspiracy, demons, and sorcerers–people she has always believed are evil. But she isn’t alone in this adventure. Joining her is a sorcerer, Nathaniel Thorn, and his strange, yet always well groomed, servant, Silas. Sorcery of Thorns has loveable characters and a slow-burn romance that I was rooting for the entire book. The world and magic system were unique and fun to read about, and the author’s writing style made it truly captivating. Sometimes I felt as if I was experiencing things right alongside the characters. This book made me laugh, smile, and almost cry. Sorcery of Thorns is perfect for teens and adults looking for an escape and a fun read.
