stephaniemartinez_72 's review for:
Thorn
by Intisar Khanani
A retelling of the Goose Girl. I think it has some slow moments and is longer than it needs to be but overall I enjoyed it. It has some powerful lessons on justice, classism, loyalty and honesty.
Princess Alyraa lives with her mother the queen and her abusive brother. Her mother doesn’t hurt her but doesn’t stop her brother. She also talks down to her. A king comes to ask for her to
Marry his son. No one can understand why she has been chosen. Her family things she is too
Honest and that it is not a good quality. She doesn’t want to go. She is afraid the prince will
Be like her brother. She speaks to her friend the Wind and the wind tells her not to be afraid.
There are many twist and turns in the story. The lessons learned are great.
