Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson
From the New York Times bestselling author of An Enchantment of Ravens comes an imaginative fantasy about an apprentice at a magical library who must battle a powerful sorcerer to save her kingdom. 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.

A bibliophile’s dream!!! This story is executed to perfection! “Sorcery of thorns” is without a doubt one of the best fantasy novels I have read and it contains some of the most beautiful lyrical writing I have ever come a cross…: “For these were no ordinary books the libraries kept. They were knowledge, given life. Wisdom, given voice. The sang when starlight streamed through the library’s windows. They felt pain and heartbreak. Sometimes they were sinister, grotesque - but so was the world outside. And that made the world no less worth fighting for, because wherever there was darkness, there was also so mush light.” Truly every bibliophile’s dream come earth side.

The materials of the books are of bad quality. You can really feel it on the pages. The alignment of the cut and the content is not 100% straight. The ink is also not so back and it's difficult to read.Most probably the books are printed, not originals, and the problem is that nothing about this is in the description, you will realize it once you receive it.The only good thing I can say is the wrapping of the book was decent even tho they had some little corner marks.

What can I say about this book other than I loved it with my whole heart and will continue to love it, forever. Sorcery of Thornes is one those books you just can't put down under any circumstances and had me hooked from the get-go. Margaret Rogerson brings us a world of magic and love and doing what is right, and the execution was just brilliant. The main character, Elisabeth was such a refreshing character to read about. Her love for books, and following her heart made her such a pleasure to read about. Nathaniel Thorn, on the other hand, was just an irresistible character who can't help but love, his sarcasm, wit and charm were just part of his appeal as well as his devotion to those he cares about.

The romance was so sweet and the found family trope in this novel was just perfect. I would highly recommend this to those who love short and sweet YA reads.

What a fun book bringing our favorite libraries to life, literally! Sorcery of Thorns by Margeret Rogerson was an action-packed story about overcoming the prejudices we have towards other people.Our heroine Elisabeth Scribner grew up in the library, literally. Like she was orphaned as a baby and placed in the care of the local librarians. But these aren't your usual libraries. In Austermeer the librarians are called wardens and are tasked with protecting the public from books, and books from the public. These books are imbued with magic from the spells they possess, in turn bringing them to life, personalities and all!Elisabeth wants nothing more than to become a warden after she finishes her training. One night she overhears a commotion and goes to check on it. ... MoreWhat a fun book bringing our favorite libraries to life, literally!

These books are imbued with magic from the spells they possess, in turn bringing them to life, personalities and all!Elisabeth wants nothing more than to become a warden after she finishes her training. One night she overhears a commotion and goes to check on it. She discovers one of the books (grimoires) has attacked and killed the library's director. She is arrested after being found at the scene of the crime trying to help.Nathaniel Thorns, an infamous bachelor and sorcerer, comes to retrieve her for her trial, and the two form an unlikely bond. She also befriends Nathaniel's butler Silas but feels there is something off about him. She has lived her whole life believing magic and sorcerers are evil, but Nathaniel doesn't fit that mold. When she discovers Silas' secret her world is really turned upside down.Elisabeth and Nathaniel uncover century-old secrets pertaining to the leadership in Austermeer. And have to work together to save the libraries they love.I loved that this book brought libraries to life! It was a great metaphor for our libraries, which are full of their own kind of magic. And like Doctor Who once said, "Books are the best weapon in the world!" This book was also a standalone story, which seems to be in rare supply in the fantasy genre these days. So it's nice to take a break from series after series with a standalone fantasy story.I gave this book 5 stars and would recommend it to fans of YA fantasy novels.
I fell in love with sorcery of thorns as soon as I picked it up just from the beauty that is the cover alone, and I fell even more in love not even 10 pages in. This book was such a fun and easy read, and I couldn't help but finish all in one sitting. The characters and the world which Margaret Rogerson brings to life is just phenomenal. From the beautiful magical libraries, to the heroine's love for books, as well as the delicious sorcery and the richness in characters and formed relationships, this book was so hard not to love. Elisabeth is such a strong and loveable character whose love for books and sword-wielding abilities make her such an amazing character to get know and explore with. Nathaniel and Silas were also such fantastic characters, from Nathaniel's ... MoreI fell in love with sorcery of thorns as soon as I picked it up just from the beauty that is the cover alone, and I fell even more in love not even 10 pages in.

Nathaniel and Silas were also such fantastic characters, from Nathaniel's wit to Silas' whole laid back attitude, you can't help but fall in love with them on the way. The formed friendship between the three was my absolute favourite and I can't get enough of how iconic they were together.This was a novel done right in every way from the magic, to the romance and everything in between. And I know I won't be the only reader who sees themselves in so many of characters and I wouldn't have it any other way.
This box was my first Owl Crate box and I loved absolutely everything inside! The items matched the theme perfectly and were beautifully made. Many of them are showcased around my home and in my library corner. This edition of Sorcery of Thorns is one of my favorite books in my collection. I could not be more thrilled with Owl Crate and this stunning box. I cannot wait to receive another! And the shipping was so fast! Thank you, Owl Crate Team!

Grimoires whisper and stir on the shelves Elisabeth knows the power and havoc they hold if released from the bonds. However one night the libraries most dangerous grimoire is released and a path of death and destruction follow in its wake. It is up to Elisabeth to try and subdue the beast before it causes more damage, instead her intervention causes her to be thrown from her home and forced to face justice in the capital.

In doing so the things she thought she knew begin to unravel and she begins to question everything she was taught and thought she knew.Okay so I finally caved and bought this book, and I'm not going to lie the cover was what drew me to this book. I'm so glad I bought it because I genuinely loved this. I loved the magical abilities that the grimoires held, the fact that they could transform into a creature of paper and ink... kinda. Nathaniel's backstory and his connection to Silas was brilliant and it made me love Nathaniel even more. Elisabeth's growth and change throughout the story was fascinating to read, I loved the fact that Elisabeth was a strong female character, also she could wield a sword which is just awesome. This was such a good read and the ending was intense and also SILASSSSSS. I LOVE SILAS
