Why read it?
1 author picked The Path of Thorns as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
This book is a deliciously dark and devious story about a clever governess bent on revenge trapped in a haunted mansion.
The author plays with so many dark folklore elements, like witches, werewolves, and ghosts, in a masterful way. This was a page-turner for me; it was enchanting and entertaining, and it had a dark feminist bent, where women are just as bad as men.
From Jelena's list on folklore and fairy-tale inspired fantasy for dark winter nights.
