A review by missyansell
Alphabet of Thorn by Patricia A. McKillip

4.0

That's the beginning of magic. Let your imagination run and follow it.

Nepenthe is an orphan transcritpter in the kingdom of Raine. One day she is given a book to transcribe that has it's letters made of thorns. Within the thorns, tells the story of Axis and Kane, legendary conquerers from the past.

I liked this writing, and the story was interesting. I was hoping for more action of battles, and the ending was a bit of a letdown since nothing really happened.

Still a quick read, less than 300 pages.
