User reviews
This was essentially a feel-good fan service epilogue and I enjoyed every minute of it. Lots of squeeing. Perfect Valentine's read. 4 stars.
Elisabeth continues to live with Nathaniel
That's all I will say, as it's a companion novel. If you enjoyed these characters in Sorcery of Thorns, you will equally enjoy them in this novel. Put a smile on your face, curl up in your favorite chair, and spend the next two hours escaping to Thorn Manor as it requires courtship to ensue.
This delightful novella is a pleasant companion to Sorcery of Thorns. The stakes are not as high, but the character interactions are just as delightful. Readers get to learn more about Thorn Manor, with its hidden rooms, sentient books, and cursed artifacts. Recommended for anyone who enjoyed the first book in the series and would like just a little bit more.
