The Girl of Fire and Thorns
by Rae Carson
I finished this one earlier in the week and I’ve already started the second book in the series. A good friend of mine recommended this series to me awhile ago and I finally started it. Rae Carson sets up a beautiful series.
Elisa is the Chosen One — chosen by God with the godstone. But what is her purpose? She does not feel remarkable. As the second child, overshadowed by her sister, the heir to the throne, she tends to hang out in the kitchen munching on treats or studying ancient texts in the library. When she is married to the King of a neighboring country, she assumes it is to benefit her sister’s reign. But Elisa is much more formidable than she knows.
I really liked how the author focused on Elisa believing in herself, overcoming her doubts and working through her obstacles. And read the author’s note at the end. Seriously, this was probably my favorite part of the book — Her why. And it made me appreciate the story so much more.
