Thorn And The Blossom, The: A Two-Sided Love Story (2014) - Plot & Excerpts
Well, I thought it was just such a sweet book. Though you pick up on the premise really quickly, it in no way lessened my enjoyment of the story. This is a great book for anyone who loves sweet romances, fairy tales, or books about books/folklore. Plus, it gets about a billion brownie points for being an absolutely beautiful physical object. It's definitely something you can get through in two hours. It left me wanting more! So I really enjoy all of Theodora Goss's short stories I've read; I think she's a wonderful writer. There's nothing wrong with the writing in this novella, I just don't like such straight forward romances. I kept feeling like I was in a Nicholas Sparks novel, just better written with arthurian legends thrown in, which, admittedly, does make it better than your average romance. Also, this book needs a binding. I dropped it so many times! Beautiful illustrations though.I'm still going to read anything Goss publishes, because her short stories are quite lovely, this just wasn't my genre.
