Relation To Books Sorcery of Thorns
All sorcerers are evil. Elisabeth has known that as long as she has known anything. 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. If provoked, they transform into grotesque monsters of ink and leather. She hopes to become a warden, charged with protecting the kingdom from their power. Then an act of sabotage releases the library’s most dangerous grimoire. Elisabeth’s desperate intervention implicates her in the crime, and she is torn from her home to face justice in the capital. With no one to turn to but her sworn enemy, the sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn, and his mysterious demonic servant, she finds herself entangled in a centuries-old conspiracy. Not only could the Great Libraries go up in flames, but the world along with them. As her alliance with Nathaniel grows stronger, Elisabeth starts to question everything she’s been taught—about sorcerers, about the libraries she loves, even about herself. For Elisabeth has a power she has never guessed, and a future she could never have imagined.Rating Based On Books Sorcery of Thorns

strong start weak finish tbhARC provided by Simon & Schuster in exchange for an honest review. Knowledge always has the potential to be dangerous. It is a more powerful weapon than any sword or spell. I dont know about you, but I feel like Ive been looking for a story all about someone living in a library, surrounded by magical books, while also going on adventure after adventure, for my entire life. And I truly believe that not only did Margaret Rogerson give me that, she is giving the YA literature community a gift
(3.75) I haven't kept up with the new popular YA Fantasy but I decided to give this one a shot.To be fair, I thought it was about fairies so... clearly I knew nothing about this.Magical books, libraries, interesting enough story and characters. I didn't care much for the romance but let's be real, I rarely do and it wasn't overwhelming. The ending (well last quarter of the book) was weaker in my opinion but it was a light, quick and fun read.If you usually enjoy YA Fantasy, give this one a shot!
Unpopular Opinion Ink and parchment flowed through her veins. The magic of the Great Libraries lived in her very bones. They were a part of her, and she a part of them. I always thought booklice were a nuisance until I read this book, and Elisabeth made me wish I were one. Wouldnt it be awesome to wield a power much like the one she possesses? This book is a much appreciated tribute to all book lovers in the world. But that's exactly where the specialty ends. I see four and five star ratings
I was wondering why I found myself underwhelmed throughout reading this book and I realize that it might be because I prefer Rogerson to write short, simple, romantic stories rather than trying to make a complex fantasy narrative. I appreciate the unique concept and world that she tried to convey, but I think there was a disconnect between that and the actual execution. I was aware of her intentions with the whimsical world building, snarky love interest, secretly soft demon, etc. but it didnt
for all the girls who found themselves in books. yaaassss! we stan a fantasy queen who both acknowledges AND writes stories for us bookworms. <3i know i wont be the only reader who sees a little bit of themself in elisabeth; for being able to relate, on such a personal level, to her love of books, for seeing them as companions, and forever feeling at home in their company/in a library. and this story is every bit deserving of having such a remarkable character. there is so much balance to
Perhaps the cruelest and kindest thing a good book does is make you believe you live inside it for the space of a few hundred pages. That you are a part of something, part of its world, not just skating around the edges, too tied up in yourself to join inand then it ends and the illusion winks out, like a snuffed flame, and youre left marooned, adrift, your head chilled in its absence.The real world takes a seat at the back, and Rogersons imaginary one holds center stage.
