First, I can't believe I've never read anything by Amelia before. She's made my auto-buy list from the first chapter. This book is THAT good. I'll be grabbing her entire backlist the second I get paid. You should too.
Jack of Thorns has an amazing voice. The characters have secrets. Their secrets have secrets. And that's hard to pull off when at least two of them have visions of the future/past throughout the story. This book is long and it could easily be longer. I didn't want it to end. And the final scene isn't a cliffhanger so much as an OOOOOHHHH SHIT?!?!?! that will leave you DYING for the next installment. I. Love. This. Book.
Lawrence is a heroin addict, a drug addict in general, and the story opens with overdose. Lawrence is not a clean, perfect hero. He's real, he's struggling hard, and he makes a lot of mistakes. By contrast, Quen is a really big questionmark throughout the entire story. He's got a history he's trying his best to repress which leaves a lot more questions than answers-- this book focuses on Lawrence and his situation rather than digging up Quen's past. I can't WAIT for a Quen-focused book.
Quen is ace, possibly by trauma rather than birth, and there's no sex in this book. Nothing explicit at all. Based on the direction the romance goes, I'd say Quen is specifically demisexual. There's definitely going to be more kissing.
There better be more kissing.
You hear me, Amelia?
Dan is an interesting character that I wanted to punch in the face repeatedly. Jack getting tangled up (ha) in Lawrence's life was perfectly played out. I did want to see more reflection on Dan's final situation and hopefully we'll get some of that in book 2.
Lawrence's mom is the best mom ever. I love her. If she's ever threatened I will cut someone. She is an angel and not to be harmed.
This book will leave you with the biggest hangover, FYI. I got sucked into the world and it wouldn't let me go. I was reading while out to dinner with Boyfriend. I HAD TO KNOW. Put this on your TBR. Mark your calendar for the 13th.
