Slatter, A.G. - The Path of Thorns

This dark book in Slatter’s Sourdough Universe is the story of Asher Todd, who returns to her mother’s family home, in disguise, for revenge. Asher is formidable but flawed, and there are a lot of twists and turns to how things work themselves out.

While this book in Slatter’s Sourdough Universe could stand alone, characters from several other books do show up and I think it’d be more enjoyable to have read those books first. Those other books are The Briar Book of the Dead, All the Murmuring Bones, and The Path of Thorns.

In this story, the most badass of Slatter’s female heroines (so far) takes a long journey to the Dark Lands to single-handedly take on the leadership of the Leech Lords, Slatter’s twist on vampires.

Another book in the author’s Sourdough universe, but like all her books and stories, you don’t need to have read any others. It’s just cool sometimes to see things referenced and realize they were in another story.

The last remaining daughter of a once-great family digs into her family’s history, while fleeing a powerful man.

Come to think of it, are there any Slatter stories where there are important male characters who aren’t completely despicable? Hmm…

Rating: 4/5 Worth an occasional re-read

This book is part of Slatter’s Sourdough world stories. Some characters from past stories show up as ancestors of this book’s main characters.

In the small rural town where the story is set, the Briar family of witches have taken care of - and ruled - the town for multiple generations. The viewpoint character is one of the few Briar women who are not witches. It turns out that some pretty horrific things have happened in the past - and continue to happen - behind the scenes of the apparently quiet little town.
