Truth be told, I started this book with low expectations and mid-level interest. ‘Thorn’ wasn’t a book that had fascinated me enough to be added to my ‘Want-to-read’ shelf nor had I come across a lot of excitement or hype surrounding it. This was a completely random acquisition, but boy am I glad I got it!

THESE VIOLENT DELIGHTS by Chloe Gong
To anyone expecting a close retelling of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet, this book is not that. ‘These violent delights’ is a loose, loooooose, l-o-o-s-e (have I said LOOSE?) homage to the tale of Romeo and Juliet. Nevertheless, it is a refreshing blend of romance, mystery, history AND fantasy.

THE SILVERED SERPENTS by Roshani Chokshi
Well played Roshani, well played…
‘The Silvered Serpents’ picks up months after the events of the previous book. Our band of jolly thieves are not quite as jolly as they struggle to protect their battered hearts and make the most of what life has dealt their way.
