Heart of Thorns by Bree Barton

Hello my dears,
Tis I your wonderful blogger. Yes I did just say tis, how medieval of me. It just seems to fit with the book I'm going to talk about today. A medieval book you say? Why, yes a medieval fantasy book.Its called Heart of Thorns by: Bree Barton. This book takes place in a world not unlike our own in the medieval period. Witch hunts, fear, wanting magic yet fearing it at the same time, not to mention that the only people suspected of magic were women. So according to my friends, MMP and CA, tell me that this book sounds just like every book I ever read. Sadly that seems to be true, the summary sounds the same but then the story is original. They don't see the details just the bare bones of the story, magic, female character that has to save the people, sounds familiar right? Well that would be what I read most of the time. Because of these friends I have decided to branch out a little, which you'll see in upcoming reviews. However, this book fits my typical slot.
Character time!!
Mia Rose: So in this world only women can have magic right, and its virtually undetectable until its used so every girl or woman is suspected of having this magic. Mia's mother was killed by a Gwyrach, a half-girl half-god or demon as some people think they would be the ones with magic, and now all she wants is revenge. But whoops, turns out she's a Gwyrach herself.
Crown Prince Quin: There's really not that much I can say about him other than he's obviously the crown prince its in his name. He's pretty cool when you get into the book. I really want to tell you more but I can't without spoiling and part of it will fall under plot anyway.
Angie Rose: She is Mia's sister and that's about all I can say about her without spoilers.
Plot! Plot! Plot! Plot! Plot! Plot!
So in this world only women have magic and are considered half-girl half-gods and demons. In the particular kingdom that Mia lives in Gwyraches are considered demons and there is a special group called the Hunters who exist for the sole purpose of hunting the Gwyrach which happens to be headed by Mia's father. The reason he heads the Hunter's is because his loving wife and mother of his children was murdered by a Gwyrach years before. Mia herself has trained to become a hunter to avenge her mother, but now her father has other plans. She is to marry Crown Prince Quin and eventually become queen. So then things happen lots of things that result in Mia's discovery that she is a Gwyrach which means her mother probably was too. Whoops. *cue adventure to discover her past*
So I really enjoyed this book. It contained all the things that seem to be my stereotype. That's not to say its not good. No no no. It was really good. Not necessarily my favorite book ever no that honor still goes to Harry Potter. I had a lot of fun reading this book. I mean, who doesn't love a good fantasy, magical book right? I think if you're over thirteen years old you would enjoy this book. Assuming you're into fantasy, that is. I give it nine paw prints and a whisker. 🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾🐾⚞
