A review by kendallgardt
The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson

4.0

The only reason I gave it 4 instead of 5 stars is because it was a little bit of a slow start for me. I read this in one day because I was so into the story. The setting is very unique I felt because it wasn’t a lush green floral world but more of a desert/western feel to me. Some say it had more of a Spanish feel setting but I felt like it was more Egyptian or middle eastern. The story takes a few twists that had me on my toes. I wouldn’t say it’s a happy ending or story but its definitely a good one. I’d say this is a coming of age story and the main character’s growth over the course of the story had me hooked.
