I flew through this little story in under an hour, and was hooked in from the start.Ī great introduction to a fascinating fantasy fairy tale with strong villainous characters and a sweet protagonist. We get hints of world building, and it really had me intrigued to read Thorn with all the talk of political machinations and alliances that dictate how the court and outside kingdoms work. Everything you should want in a princess, but not in this kingdom. ![]() I could also see the early formation of loyalty and friendship between Alyrra and her servants. For such a short read, I felt drawn to her as a character and wanted her to escape her brother's wrath. I don't think that took anything away from my reading experience however, as I found Alyrra to be a well rounded protagonist who has strong moral values. This is pitched as a prequel of sorts to Thorn, which I haven't read. The story of a princess who, through one act of kindness, finds herself at the mercy of her cruel and merciless brother.
