Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust

3.0

Liked it, didn't love it. Probably suffers ratingwise from being sandwiched between some other more exceptional books. Especially [b:Nettle & Bone|56179377|Nettle & Bone|T. Kingfisher|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1645110008l/56179377._SY75_.jpg|87513158]. This is a nicely done fairy tale reskinning (and definite bonus points for the non-European flavor) with a different take on a compelling female main character. Sometimes it is okay to be a monster. With that said, it does suffer from a bunch of YA tropes where everything is super dramatic and people never actually bother to talk to each other.
