Mysteries of Thorn Manor by Margaret Rogerson
5.0
This novella serves as an extended epilogue to Sorcery of Thorns, and I don’t think I stopped smiling once from opening it to finishing it. I love these characters so much, and I’m so glad that Margaret Rogerson indulged her readers’ wishes to spend more time with them.
In Sorcery of Thorns, we got sentient books; this time around, we are treated to the delight of a sentient mansion, complete with a scene in which our heroes are attacked by vintage clothing (the horror!!).
“Where is the dressing gown?” Nathaniel shouted into her ear, looking like he was having more fun than a person had any right to be defending himself against his great-great-aunt’s homicidal knickers.
Living with Nathaniel, this sort of thing was more or less in line with a regular Tuesday.
Effortlessly charming and humorous in the way that all of Rogerson’s books are, Mysteries of Thorn Manor hits the spot for anyone wishing Sorcery of Thorns hadn’t ended so soon.
“Not every story has a happy ending. But most do, if you’re brave enough to keep reading to the end.”
