SORCERY OF THORNS: A REVIEW
"The library wants to fight back." STORYTELLING RANK: INCREDIBLE! 4.5 of 5 stars for overall enjoyment Magic, sorcery, witchcraft, supernatural powers and abilities: they're the bread and butter of fantasy writing. We've created scales and rankings to identify magic systems in novels because there are so many that exist (my personal favorite ranking is Brandon Sanderson's ranking of hard magic versus soft magic). And yet, Margaret Rogerson's novel Sorcery of Thorns still gives to magic a new take.

Two Star Review
"The first book's storyline was so unique I just had to read this one, but the sequel was even more roughly written than the first. Van Orman's writing style is overly simple and I had to ding them for their habit of 'telling not showing' every emotion and thought of every character despite it being a first-person POV. There was also no semblance of a struggle after she unlocked the second level. Everything was too easy. No plot twists. Every plan they came up with was executed without complications so it was just... boring unfortunately."

Rewire Your Brain, Change Your Life: The Abundance Mindset Explained
I am a failure! I don't think I can succeed in any new endeavor. My life has no meaning! How many times have you come across statements like this? Or how many times have you witnessed yourself say these notions aloud to yourself? Failures are a warranted swing in life that plonks you into rock bottom. But deeming yourself incapable of achieving your dreams because of the circumstances and downs in life, has less to do with what you have in your capacities and more to the way you perceive yourself and the life that you stride upon. The perception of your life that you hold for yourself is akin to the way everything in your life manifests into the reality you forge. The way we have been conditioned for years by our family, friends, and teachers, the books we read and the content we consume shape the beliefs that we hold for ourselves and the world around us.
