ddot25 's review for:
The Girl of Fire and Thorns
by Rae Carson
This was really really good. The best way I can describe this story is that it was a slow burn and action packed at the same time. I have no idea how, but I quite enjoyed that aspect. The main character, Elisa, is so real and down to earth. I like that while she definitely grows throughout the story and matures at a fast pace, the fact she's 17 still pokes through every now and then, and in the most endearing ways. I love the friendship between Elisa and Lord Hector so much! I am glad she has such a fierce and loyal ally. I don't know if I want them to become romantic or not. I an leaning towards not, only because I think their friendship could be amazing and adding romance may dilute that. I am also pleased that Alejandro had the chance to be a hero. The characters are done so well, layered and with such depth. The world-building was outstanding, I felt like I was in the desert in that sandstorm with them! Highly recommend this book!
