Match BookThorn Fall
Lindsay Buroker
2014 · 266 pages · Fantasy
How it reads
Thorn Fall is fantasy (urban fantasy, specifically), and its dominant mood is adventurous. It's driven by momentum, discovery and getting into trouble. It moves fast: plot-driven and hard to put down, the kind of book that carries you along even when you're tired.
It's set in an invented world, in no single period, told in the first person by a single narrator. Its central concerns are survival, friendship and redemption. In weight it's light and escapist — easy to fall into.
It's a later book in a series — you'll usually want to start earlier. The ending resolves happily. At 266 pages it's a quick read. It's moderately known: read by plenty of people, but not a household name.
