I recently finished The Blackthorn Key by Kevin Sands. I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars on Goodreads. You can see more about what this book is about here before heading in to my review. Another bookish thing you can check out is my August TBR 2020 and July wrap up on TikTok @brinadancer to see it and the other books I'm reading this month. I also have up a book haul of books I got before the lock down for COVID-19 you can check it out here. I'd love to know what your reading this month let me know either here in the comments or on my video.
Hopping on in to the review. I'll try not to give to much away and keep this spoiler free. I literally just picked this up because of the book blurbs. It sounded so interesting because it said an "apprentices journey, hidden codes, puzzles and secret societies" and it came with a warning page. What more could you want! I was so shocked by this book it was so good, super easy and fast to read since its middle grade. I could not put it down I read the whole book in 3 days while on vacation.
I really liked the character of Christopher he is a super fun and rambunctious boy. I love that he's an apprentice to an apothecary and that his best friend helps to take care of him after things start going crazy. I also really liked the mystery aspect and the hidden codes and puzzles in the one. They were super entertaining. I think they were well woven in to the story. I also liked that every recipe that Christoper goes to make is an actual recipes from the 1600, it's totally crazy. Also, I appreciate Tom, the best friend, that goes along with pretty much everything Christopher does even if it gets him in trouble. I will say I think that he portrayal of how children were treated in this is accurate since most kids during this time period were expected to behave a certain way. So just a slight warning on that note.
I would definitely recommend this one. Since I totally fell in love it with and can't wait to get the next books in the series. I really liked that it was so fast to read and super entertaining. It was a page turner for sure.
Lastly, if your looking for other books I have reviews up for Arc of A Scythe Trilogy up, Marked, and the Lost Heroes of Olympus series: The Lost Hero, Son of Neptune and Mark of Athena. And A Storm of Magic and many more through out my blog.
