The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson
3.0
An interesting debut to this story.
Elisa is the chosen one. She doesn't want to be the chosen one. She isn't pretty, she is the youngest and she is about to be married off to a stranger. She doesn't want any of this. Elisa doesn't want anything to do with being Queen and she is hidden off by her husband, who won't admit that he is married. I liked that we got to see Elisa change. She starts to gain confidence and we see over and over again that this girl is made of steel. She does want she can to save herself and other people. Who she was at the beginning of the book isn't the same as who she was at the end of the book.
The plot kept me going. There were many twists and turns that I didn't see coming and that kept me engrossed in the story.
However, I found myself lost at some points. I was confused about the Godstone and what it was suppose to do for the world. I was confused at some parts and felt that some of the events were just there to confuse me.
Other then that, I enjoyed this story and it's unique tale about a powerful stone and a the girl who wants nothing to do with it.
