Description
Elisabeth Scrivener is finally settling into her new life with sorcerer Nathaniel Thorn. Now that their demon companion Silas has returned, so has scrutiny from nosy reporters hungry for gossip about the city’s most powerful sorcerer and the librarian who stole his heart. But something strange is afoot at Thorn Manor: the estate’s wards, which are meant to keep their home safe, are acting up and forcibly trapping the Manor’s occupants inside. Surely it must be a coincidence that this happened just as Nathaniel and Elisabeth started getting closer to one another . . . ?
With no access to the outside world, Elisabeth and Nathaniel have to work together to discover the source of the magic before they’re due to host the city’s Midwinter Ball. Faced with a house filled with unexpected secrets, the couple will have to lean on their connection like never before to set things right before it’s too late . . .

4.1 out of 5 stars
Thank you to NetGally for the arc, in exchange for an honest review 📚.
Elisabeth, Nathaniel & Silas have been trapped inside Thorn Manor. Until they discover what ancient magic source is keeping them prisoner, they cannot leave. They are due to host the city's upcoming Midwinter Ball, which will be made rather difficult if none of their guests can enter their home. Will they be able to find what other secrets Thorn Manor holds in time?
As you can tell by my description of the plot, there are some VERY high stakes in this novella.
This story was charming, cute and cosy. It deserves to be read in a comfy reading chair with tea and scones. It was so heartwarming, and I'm so glad we got to see all these characters living their best lives.
I would like to make it clear that I am completely on the Manor's side of the disagreement.
There is just something about Margaret Rogerson, because for some reason she can NEVER 100% end a story. I'm hoping this means there is a slim slim slim possibly that one day we might read about Thorn Manor and it's occupants again 👀.
I will posting a review of this book on my Instagram, Goodreads and TikTok accounts within the next week. My handle for all of these medias is "Tahliareadstoomuch".

Thank you to Simon and Schuster and NetGalley for providing me with an eARC to review!
Margaret Rogerson can do no wrong in my eyes and this isn't any different - the perfect fluffy novella to follow one of my favourite comfort reads. Rogerson just has this uncanny ability to make her books feel like a warm hug, while still having some bite to them, and I just keep eating it up! Loved seeing more of our faves and my boy Silas <3
My only complaint is I wish this were longer but alas :/

Thank you NetGalley for this eARC!
Margaret Rogerson, you have done it again!! I absolutely LOVED this novella. The banter! The romance! The imagery! I love everything about it. It’s a fairytale in its own right and genuinely just such a joy to read. To be back in Thorn Manor with Nathaniel, Elisabeth and Silas, watching a beautiful friendship AND a beautiful romance unfold was wonderful.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC of this novella. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
This was a quick read, but necessary. If you've read Sorcery of Thorns, this is a must read. It was lovely to get to know all the characters even better. Getting to know some of the many secrets of the house felt inevitable too.
Sounds like there could possibly be another full length novel after this as well.
4.5 stars

Thank you to Simon and Schuster and NetGalley for an arc of this book. This is my honest review of it.
I honestly think Margaret Rogerson can do now wrong when it comes to telling a story. This novella was just as whimsy and witty as the full novel Sorcery of Thorns, and I loved every second of it.
I loved being able to return to thorn manor and see how the main characters are fairing and to see Nathaniel and Elizabeth’s relationship blossom. Also so glad that Silas has returned safe, and mostly sound.
Rogersons writing is once again full of beautiful prose and flirtatious banter. I love how the characters interact with each other and the new mystery surrounding the manor is so enchanting. This novella is perfectly written, I just wish it had been longer!!
I truly hope we get to see more of this trio in the future! Especially considering the ending of this book!
I will be reviewing this book on Goodreads, Instagram and TikTok in the next few days. You can find me @baileybelgravebooks for all socials!
