The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson

4.0

---

This book was better than I expected. Definitely a slow burn, but so worth the investment. This book is about a 16 year old girl with a very long name that just goes by Elisa. She gets married off to a King Alexandro for her protection and a war alliance. Slowly the reader is privy to why this is happening and who is after her. She is a bearer of a godstone that is supposed to give her a purpose to serve as a Hero. I will tell you, she started off as a unlikeable, naive character for me. However, the more she gains confidence, the more she was well received in my thoughts. I truly enjoyed this and will be continuing with the series.
