(Is it even legal to have that many pluses?) 3. Amazing squad goals In short, I give the worldbuilding in Sorcery of Thorns an A+++++++. But don’t worry, I’ll spare your ears the pain). I know I’ve already used the word “magic” a bajillion times in just these last two paragraphs alone, but I would really be doing this book a disservice if I didn’t talk about its magic system at least once! I adore the idea behind “aetherial combustion” and the need for demonic bargains about as much as Olaf adores summer (and just like Olaf, I could sing a whole song about it. With a plot that spotlights the literal magic of the written word, what more could our book-loving souls ask for? 2. It’s official: Rogerson has created the perfect story for literary lovers. (From this moment on, I will now address librarians as wardens.) And as if that wasn’t enough to get me excited, it also features a girl who speaks to novels and grimoires like some kind of freaking Book Whisperer. In Sorcery of Thorns, they are actually magical. But that’s only in the poetic, metaphorical sense. It’s got magical libraries! MAGICAL!! LIBRARIES!! I mean, as far as I’m concerned, libraries are already magical. #librarygoals Why You Should Read Sorcery of Thorns 1. Much of the novel recounts Desiree’s search for her missing twin and how that search is completed by Desiree’s daughter. Desiree has fled an abusive marriage to a Black man and brought her daughter back to Mallard, while Stella is passing for White, is married to a businessman, has a daughter with him, and lives in California. Ten years later, their lives have diverged in radically different directions. The plot concerns identical twins Desiree and Stella Vignes, who leave their small Louisiana village at the age of 16 to seek their fortune in New Orleans. Since the novel is driven by the perceptions and recollections of its characters, the story does not move in a linear fashion. Just as the time and location shift among numerous places and decades, the limited third-person narrative point of view shifts among multiple people. The story begins in the small village of Mallard, Louisiana, in 1968 and then skips to New Orleans, New York, Southern California, and back to Mallard between 1978 and the early 1980s. The novel is set in several locations during different time periods. But, oh, Caleb is far from a polished professional. Landing an interview with award winning photographer and artist Caleb Mitchell was a stroke of good fortune and exactly what the magazine needs-Caleb’s vision and talent to help revamp the graphic art department and take the publication to the next level of polished professionalism. It’s a relationship that has become a convenient crutch for Darcy, but it’s about to become painfully obvious that he’s been wasting far too much time living a lie. It’s a new beginning for the online magazine he’s made a success of, even while the economy has made it difficult to build a business, and Darcy’s friendship with Bailey, one that happens to occasionally include sex, is a habit he’s formed over the years, so following her didn’t necessarily make sense as much as it was just a case of abiding the status quo. – Oscar Wildeĭarcy Butler moved from Oregon to New Orleans, following the woman he’s been in an on-again-off-again relationship with for the past decade. No man is rich enough to buy back his past. I found it interesting in this novel when he was thinking about his morals, convictions and motivations. The desire to punch Buckingham in the face is all encompassing, and I certainly was rooting for Danny to just lose his cool and let fly.ĭanny Black as a character is fairly stock standard, he is the guy you want to come to your rescue. The most infuriating character ever written (ever!) features in this series, Mr. I feel like each one adds a little more to the background characters that feature in the series. This is the third novel in the Danny Black series, and I have given all the books in the series a four star rating. I’m a sucker for anything with nautical themes, and so seeing a picture of an oil rig on the front of a favourite authors’ book – I jumping up and down to get reading! At times it felt like I was racing against the clock alongside the protagonist of this series, Danny Black. I always forget how epic the conclusions of Chris Ryan’s works are, and Hellfire certainly delivered. Hellfire slowly built up the tension and suspense until I was frantic in the final 70 pages.
