Mysteries of Thorn Manor

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.
