Rosethorn is an ambitious, well crafted and simply stunning debut. Ava Zav's tale of first love explores mature themes without skimping on romance.It tells us the story of Sera, her first love, new life and the dark secrets of her past. I call the work ambitious because Zavora weaves an intricate and delicate plot that is rich with emotional subtext throughout, and a lesser writer would have mangled it.I don't want to spoil any of it and deny you the full effect of the book's thrilling twists, but assure you, they will keep you turning the pages.I generally try not to give too many 5 star but was genuinely moved by this story. It's beautifully written and left me feeling as if I'd just met a new friend for life.If you are a fan of Romance, you will not do better than Rosethorn, but anyone looking to read a wonderful debut from a brilliant writer should pick this up.
