Sorcery of Thorns

“‘Tempting as the prospect is', Nathaniel said, ‘we are not attempting world domination. It sounds fun in theory, but in reality it's a logistical nightmare. All those assassinations and so forth.' At her blank look, he explained, ‘Silas used to tell me bedtime stories.'”

I really enjoyed this book. It was incredibly well written and had an amazing cast of characters including the main trio. I really loved watching Elisabeth's story unfold. The magic in this world was fascinating between the demons, the grimoires, and the libraries. I also loved all the banter between Nathaniel and Elisabeth. They were so amazing together whether they were fighting each other or demons, or working together to solve a mystery.

I also really appreciated that this was a standalone fantasy novel, that is very rare these days and Margaret did a fantastic job at having a complete story in one book. While she did leave me wanting more and angry there is not more to come in the story. I'm glad there is no sequel because I often fail to continue series because the wait between books is so long.
