The Blackthorn Key / Book Series / Thoughts
spoilers. I've read 1-4 I think? i dont know if I read the 5th I cant remember ngl and the 6th is yet to come out yet I believe
i wanna say something
honestly, I just.
This story introduced me to ciphers and honestly a few of them are my favorite, and while some I can't actually remember the name of at all, it's easy to understand the basic idea and I like that at times it goes step by step when deciphering things, like it shows you when you do one thing and it also shows you what clues say so you can try to figure it out but be kinda a little clueless like the characters until they figure it out in a way thats a little complex, but in a way that you the reader can understand and not get lost or overwhelmed.
bro benedict man- sobbing. i didnt know him for long but i got attached. AND THEN HE HIT CHRIS AND IT CONFUSED ME SO BADLY because while i know that its common benedict doesnt do that to chris and then like AND THEN HE WAS DEAD AND WE LEARN THAT HE DID IT FOR CHRIS' SAFETY- I CANT. THIS MAN IS SO FUCKING SELFLESS
chris and tom are pretty young i believe. i dont think we ever got an explicit age but like.. what the fuck? so much stuff happened. so they encounter.. heaven fire thing i dont know- it was like this special type of fire that Benedict was trying to hide but like they got attacked (even though i believe it was trapped) and i just O W and jeez. haha nothing else will totally go wrong then theres like this group of scammers scamming people during the plague and chris and tom of course get involved in it. I mean they solve it eventually after a scare and.. but.. IM PRETTY SURE SOMEONE GOT STABBED (and if im not wrong diED???) FOR THEM sobbing later they discover a persons dead body? i think one of them almost got strangled to death or something i dont know but i just i WHAT they stop this assassin? i think that was trying to kill the thing (i think one of them threw something at the king to stop him from drinking a poisoned drink???)- i think Christopher was at knife point at one point, though I dont remember if it was somewhere at this part or not but i- WHAT and then lets not even TALK about how Christopher lost his memory when he fell off a boat due to a storm i think, and like another time shot at with arrows, SHOT AT WITH BULLETS OR SOMETHING BY THESE LIKE PIRATE PEOPLE-- and they saved like kidnapped children and i just wh AT a LOT happened. and there were STILL puzzles and it wasnt overwhelming, and I actually really liked it and how the author decided to write it like Its gold. i would recommend giving it a read if you like ciphers and puzzles n stuff and just mystery- The story is set in the old times in the UK, England I believe i dont know why im putting the recommendation here at the end when people who assumedly havent read it wont read down to this point lmAO
