Between Two Thorns by Emma Newman
4.0
*I received this book from netgalley in exchange for a fair and honest review*
I really enjoyed this book.
There are 4 main characters:
Cathy-- who wishes to live a normal life in the Mundane
Will-- Cathy's arranged fiance who loves the life in the Nether
Max-- An Arbiter who polices Fae & Fae-touched who live in the Nether, making sure they don't hurt humans in the mundane
Sam-- Poor normal guy caught up in all of this just from being in the wrong place at the wrong time
We have some great characters here although, I preferred things when Cathy was involved. I enjoyed her character and spirit.
I did find the beginning a tad slow. It took me a while to understand the world and what was going on. A few things were confusing, but later cleared up. I am still a bit confused on how the Nether works... if structures need to be in the human world to exist in the Nether... do all houses exist in the Nether? What about stores? And how do they still have such older houses?(This last one may be me showing how little I know of England.)
The story was very interesting and with multiple perspectives there is a lot to take in. Sometimes it felt I was a part of juicy gossip and hearing about these exploits of others... it was so exciting.
I hate the ending haha I'm so frustrated!!! It can't end there! I need more! i'll be looking up the second book soon.
I really enjoyed the book and would definitely recommend it to others. Like I said, starts slow, my % read slowly crawled then suddenly I was over halfway done caught up in the adventure and before I knew it I was at 98% dreaded the last 2 and the coming end.
I so desperately need to read more...
