Read wRite Run
I must say, this book took me a hot minute to get into because I wasn’t immediately sure how I felt about it and had to take a step back from it as a result. However, this said, once I gave it another chance, I was surprised by how deeply it grabbed my attention.
Now I have been very much looking forward to this book since it was announced, but holy moly did it ever knock my expectations out of the park. Prior to starting this book, I have been in a brutal reading slump, particularly directed towards fantasy which is usually my main genre. So talk about making my reading life difficult. Not to mention frustrating. Flame and Sparrow is the fantasy book to finally knock me out of my struggle to read fantasy. It absolutely blew me away. Like I am going to be living in this world in my head for the foreseeable future now because I’m just staggered by what I read.
Curse of the Thorn King was a very enjoyable read with wonderful characters, as few as there were (hello empty castle problems) and it’s a short, yet satisfying read.
If you love badass females, magic, and adventure, as well as secrets and betrayals then this is the book for you. It balances court intrigue and quests quite nicely, containing the best of both worlds.
