La suite tant attendue de Sorcery of Thorns ! Elisabeth Scrivener vit désormais auprès du sorcier Nathaniel Thorn et de Silas, leur compagnon démon, revenu auprès d'eux. Mais il se passe quelque chose d'étrange au manoir : les protections magiques de la résidence font des siennes et emprisonnent de force ses occupants. Il va falloir découvrir rapidement l'origine de la magie qui a détraqué ces défenses, car le fameux Bal d'hiver approche... Ce qui ne sera pas une tâche aisée quand la maison se révèle pleine de secrets inattendus, et que tout ce à quoi Elisabeth aspire, c'est de pouvoir embrasser Nathaniel en paix. Mais il devient bientôt clair que le manoir ne redeviendra docile que si on lui paie le prix qu'il exige... L'édition française bénéficiera de contenu inédit. L'ouvrage sera disponible uniquement en version reliée avec jaquette. La couverture, illustrée par Charlie Bowater, sera dotée de dorure et vernis sélectif. S'ajoutent à cela des illustrations inédites pour les pages de gardes, un tranche file et des habillage pour la page de titre et les en-têtes de chapitres ! [payot.ch]

I absolutely adore this world and these characters!
What a treasure to visit them again. The real review is
actually just me sobbing over Silas. Embarrassing.
A companion novel to Sorcery of Thorns.
Oh no! Thorn manner is holding everyone hostage. Why? How do they fix it?
This novel is a chance to find out what's next for Elizabeth, Nathaniel, and the inhabitants of Yhorn Manner. It also delves a little into the history of the house.
Overall this book was cute. Elizabeth felt Luke a different character altogether. But the moments with Silas were great. Honestly I'd like a few novels following him around through the centuries.
This was one of those rare instances where I went into the book not knowing anything because Sorcery of Thorns was a favorite, and I was just excited to be back in this world.
This is a cozy, warm, full of love novella that's perfect to read while snug in your blanket and a hot chocolate in hand. This is domestic slice of life at its best, with lovely, charming, witty conversations between our favorite characters. And interspersed within it are moments full of exploring a magical house, discovering its hidden depths, and trying to bring some wayward grimoires to chill. Nathaniel is being his grumpy but witty self, Elisabeth is full of love and joy but also trying to find a way for her to use her skills more, and Silas is mysterious as ever but also just such an important part of this little found family. Mercy made a lovely new addition to this group. Everyone had their highlight moments and I just loved breezing through this audiobook in a single sitting.
Overall, I'm so glad we got a little glimpse into this world again and I can only hope that we might get more stories with these characters, because they are such fun to spend some time with. And if you loved the first book, you really can't give this a miss.
This was just fine, but there was a bit too much romance and a bit too little of everything else.
Which I suppose was the point of a mid-series novella of this sort.
It was nice to see the characters again and the manor itself proved quite curious. It was a bit like a romantic Harry Potter.
It's not a must to read, but it was not entirely a waste of time either.
