Book - Among the Beasts and Briars by Ashley Poston ~ this book is about haunted magical woods and it was on my lists of books I want to read this year, so I was very excited to see it included in this box! This edition is stunning and it has sprayed pink edges as well as art on the back of the dust jacket.

Now, I’m merely hoping that we’ll see another novel set in this world. By the end, I found myself wishing that it would never end. But it was the writing, and the characters themselves, who kept me coming back for more. I was immediately sucked into the story, thanks heavily to the theme and the setting. There’s a florid way in which Poston writes, and it resulted in an enchanting read. I loved the whole aesthetic of it, but it’s more than that as well. I really enjoyed Among the Beasts & Briars – more than I expected to if I’m being honest. It’s up to her, and her little best friend, Fox, to stand up and try to save the day. The woods are seeking to take back what was lost, and that means that everything and everyone that Cerys has ever loved is now in danger. That is, right up until everything started breaking.

It’s a kingdom famous for keeping its people safe, for the kings and queens that are full of magic, and for the crown that enabled all of it. Ashley Poston’s debut novel, Among the Beasts & Briars portrays a world of magic and blooms – a fantastical combination if you ask me! This is a novel perfect for those that loved the tone of Bone House.Īloriya is all that Cerys has ever known.
