The Girl of Fire and Thorns
by Rae Carson
The cover is awful, but the book inside is surprisingly good. I'd compare it to Graceling, perhaps, although it's not such a tear jerker, because both books have the most vividly imagined fantasy worlds I've seen in young adult in a while.
Multiple characters showed a remarkable amount of growth, too. I particularly likedhow our heroine's husband at first comes off as a kind, handsome guy, and then is shown to be much weaker than we'd thought . And although the food/weight issues seem to have bothered a lot of reviewers, they seemed pretty true to me. (I only wish the publisher hadn't been so scared of them that he refused to put more than a person's almost-hidden face on the cover.)
But, mostly, I loved the book for the world and the way I could almost smell it. I've already got the second book on hold at the library --- yay!
