Moderator Joined: May 2010 Posts: 16,033 Likes: 20 | I just started this book, A Sorcery of Thorns by Margaret Rogerson, and I love love love it! Sorcery! Demons! Libraries! Evil books that come alive and try to kill you if you piss them off...! What more can you ask for? All sorcerers are evil. Elisabeth has known that as long as she has known anything. Raised as a foundling in one of Austermeer’s Great Libraries, Elisabeth has grown up among the tools of sorcery—magical grimoires that whisper on shelves and rattle beneath iron chains. If provoked, they transform into grotesque monsters of ink and leather. She hopes to become a warden, charged with protecting the kingdom from their power.
Then an act of sabotage releases the library’s most dangerous grimoire. Elisabeth’s desperate intervention implicates her in the crime, and she is torn from her home to face justice in the capital. With no one to turn to but her sworn enemy, the sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn, and his mysterious demonic servant, she finds herself entangled in a centuries-old conspiracy. Not only could the Great Libraries go up in flames, but the world along with them.
As her alliance with Nathaniel grows stronger, Elisabeth starts to question everything she’s been taught—about sorcerers, about the libraries she loves, even about herself. For Elisabeth has a power she has never guessed, and a future she could never have imagined.

She also wrote An Enchantment of Ravens over a year back, not sure if it is the same universe. Both rated 4 and 4+ on Amazon. | | | | Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,117 Likes: 5 Member | Member Joined: May 2000 Posts: 42,117 Likes: 5 | Mina, I do a =LOT= less reading these days <sigh> but ... it =IS= on my list now.

Good, so far- it has elements from Black Butler in it (which I really enjoyed). | | |
