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

4.0

This was an entirely engaging fantasy with a heroine that showed both growth and fortitude throughout the course of the novel.Carson creates a vivid world; her descriptions are lush, yet the book never lagged. Although there is a concrete ending, she leaves many story-world questions unanswered, which encourages the reader to delve further into her universe through subsequent books. I thought that her character depictions were top notch and I loved many of the relationships in the book, especially the dynamic between Elisa and the king's son. My favorite read so far of 2013!
