Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust
4.0
“Parvaneh seemed to be made of the night. She wore it like a gown, draped over skin that shimmered in the moonlight.”
***
Parvaneh, love of my life, do you mind accepting me as one of your pariks sisters too? I would absolutely love it in every way possible.
Honestly, I thought I wouldn’t like this book— the themes it tries to acknowledge (internal conflict between good and evil), are often simplified and made black or white. But no, the author made us sympathise for every character, even the villain, in some ways. There aren’t good or evil, there are just people who made an error and choose to solve it, and those (just Azas, really) who decided to get keep going that way.
The plot is fine, maybe a bit too slow; what this book really misses is a better writing, perhaps with a bit more of humor, and more developed characters.
Overall I enjoyed it, probably because I had very low expectations.
⭐️⭐️⭐️,75/4
