***Thank you so much to Margaret K. McElderry Books and NetGalley for the chance to read and review Sorcery of Thorns.***

I am always a little disappointed when a highly anticipated book ends up falling short on me. From the moment I laid eyes on the cover of Sorcery of Thorns I just knew I had to read it. I was lucky when the publisher approved me on NetGalley for the chance to read and review this book pre-publication. (Please note that this review was written on: May 17th)

The idea behind this book was really interesting. I love the grimoires and how they were alive, how there were different levels and how the was a whole society who was dedicated to being their keepers. Other then that, Sorcery of Thorns really didn't have much to offer me.

I liked Margaret's writing style and her writing flows nicely. But I strongly believe her characters could have used a bit more fleshing out. Elisabeth was the only character that was well fleshed out and rounded. I would have loved to see the characters on a more deeper level. Characters most of the time make or break or book for me and poorly developed characters really make it hard for me to enjoy a book.

I am not saying that Sorcery of Thorns was a horrible book. It simply wasn't for me. I read a few other reviews after finishing this book and though it wasn't my cup of tea it is well loved by so many other readers. I do recommend you to give this one a shot, it is intriguing and it does have a slow burn romance (Which I LOVEEEEEEEEEEE!)
