A review by wraskai
Jack of Thorns by A.K. Faulkner

2.75

This really wasn’t for me. It is not a bad book, it is more down to personal preferences. I didn’t really feel attached to any of the characters. The romance had some cute moments, but for me it focused a bit too much on the physical attraction of both characters instead of their personality. The amount of time I had to read one of the protagonists got aroused just by being near his crush, really pulled me out of the book. 

 

The magic system had some interesting elements, but since that wasn’t the focus of the book I never got fully invested. I also really didn’t like Jack and how his powers worked and how he would get stronger. What I did really appreciate was how supportive the mom was of her son about everything. It is nice to see really supportive parents.
