by Margaret Rogerson. It&#8217;s a magical, sometimes dark universe. A heroine, Elisabeth &#8211; very, very tall, anything but annoying; I&#8217;d say she&#8217;s badass &#8211; apprentice guardian of more or less dangerous living grimoires! An enigmatic sorcerer, cynical beyond measure and damaged by his past. A fashionable, snobbish demon so inaccessible and enigmatic that you want to know everything about him. A refreshing best friend. And many other characters. But there&#8217;s also a touch of the Harry Potter Atmosphere in this book, especially with the presence of these living grimoires that sing, get sick, and have strong characters. Lastly, &#8220;Sorcery Of Thorns&#8221; it&#8217;s a conspiracy to foil and a romance that is subtly interwoven and not the mainstay of the story (although an early scene might suggest otherwise). The whole is supported by a fluid and frankly brilliant writing style. Beautiful &#8220;images&#8221; abound. And the characters&#8217; attitudes, settings, street scenes, and actions are strikingly realistic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color\">In conclusion:<br>This book is one of my favourites!<br>If you haven&#8217;t read it yet and I&#8217;ve whetted your appetite, go for it! If you&#8217;re looking for a Christmas gift, &#8220;go for it!&#8221; And if you&#8217;ve already read it, don&#8217;t hesitate to tell me what you thought in the comments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color\">See you soon and take care!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-primary-color has-text-color\"><br><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-gutenverse-divider guten-element guten-divider guten-FmeV8l\"><div class=\"guten-divider-wrapper\"><div class=\"guten-divider-default guten-divider-line guten-divider-regular\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":237,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-233","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-book-review"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.solennelegoff.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.solennelegoff.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.solennelegoff.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.solennelegoff.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.solennelegoff.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=233"}],"version-history":[{"count":19,"href":"http:\/\/www.solennelegoff.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":260,"href":"http:\/\/www.solennelegoff.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/233\/revisions\/260"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.solennelegoff.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/237"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/www.solennelegoff.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=233"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.solennelegoff.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=233"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/www.solennelegoff.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=233"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
