This eventually leads them to move on from Atlanta, and accidentally discover the fledgling town of Woodbury.Īt just over 300 pages, the book is still a fairly fast read. It’s an insightful character study, but this ultimately leads to one of the darkest points for Philip Blake, when he gets too emotionally involved with April Chalmers.

The good news is that Sorcery of Thorns was worth the push – I really enjoyed it and flew through the last 200 pages in just a few hours. I’ve mentioned before that fantasy is not my genre of choice (in fact, I had a few people send me messages about Sorcery of Thorns after I picked it for the July book for the Everyday Reading Book Club saying “I just want to check this is the right book, because I know you don’t generally go in for fantasy), but just like any book club, I like to push myself occasionally to read things outside my normal reading comfort zone. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() You may also love to listen to the Nightmares & Dreamscapes, Volume II and Nightmares & Dreamscapes, Volume III.

" For this mortal I would disobey my queen, abandon my king, the court that has protected me all these years. *end spoiler alert* There's just so much love I have for Leslie and I think that Leighton can portray both the character's soft, delicate side and her strong, independent side as well. She did what she knew was best even if it wasn't want she wanted, even if it meant staying away from the two people she loved. ![]() I loved that Leslie walked away and in doing so kept her independence and showed her strength. *spoiler alert* She was willing to walk away from both Niall and Irial despite how much she loved them and how much they loved her because she knew it wasn't good or healthy for her to be with either of them.
