Review Detail

Set in a darkly shimmering Edwardian Paris where worship of the Roman gods never ended, A Riddle of Thorns drips with Gothic atmosphere, sizzles with romantic tension, and confounds with intricate puzzles and long-buried mysteries. When Sana Gupta turns 18, she heads back to her childhood home, thinking she will be claiming her inheritance, only to discover she must compete against three competitors who all have dark reasons for being there. If you like puzzles, riddles, and a murder mystery or disappearance wrapped up in your fantasy story, this book will be perfect. This book has a diverse cast of characters and the different connections to the razorthorn flower. I like this alternate version of Victorian Paris with some gods and mythology tossed in.
