Death, murder, racism, sexism, violence, self harm in magical context Violet, the prophet for the royal court, has fought for her place by lying and carefully phrasing her divinations. But all that is threatened by Prince Cyrus, who plans to get rid of her once he is crowned by the end of the summer. To stop this, Violet agrees to the king's plan to fake a prophecy that Cyrus will find his true love at the upcoming ball. But what she doesn't realize is that this awakens a terrible curse that could either save the kingdom, or end it in damnation. I'm a big fan of fairytales so I knew I had to pick this book up! I had heard great things about it and I was not disappointed! The plot was very interesting to read about. I especially liked reading about the political drama of the court. The magical elements were woven in very seamlessly. It made the magic system and world feel very real and believable. The writing style made for an engaging read. Each chapter had something new and interesting and it kept me reading constantly. I saved a lot of great quotes that I enjoyed as well! In terms of characters, my favourite would have to be Violet herself. I loved her strength, determination, and backstory. We got to see her develop throughout the book and grow out of her comfort zone. I also liked reading about Prince Cyrus but would have enjoyed learning a bit more about the side characters so that I could be more invested in their aspects of the story. The ending left me wanting more and I'm excited to read the sequel when it comes out! Overall I had a lot of fun reading this book! I especially enjoyed the magic and political intrigue. I gave this book 4/5 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. That's all for my review of Violet Made of Thorns by Gina Chen! I hope you enjoyed it!

Death, violence, kidnapping, murder, mention of sexual assault in the past  My Review A thrilling end to the Inheritance Games trilogy! I especially liked the mystery in this book. After book 2, I knew I had to find out what happened. I also enjoyed reading about Avery and the Hawthorne brothers working together. It was interesting seeing how everything came together in the end. Throughout the course of the series I grew to enjoy Avery’s character more and more. I also loved learning more about the Hawthorne brothers, especially Xander! He’s probably my favourite. I admire her strength through everything she had to deal with. I’m excited to read more from this author in the future! I gave this book 4/5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.  Mood Board   Author Information
