Summary: The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson is about a girl named Elisa. Once a century, one person is chosen by the gods for greatness. Elisa is that person. She is the younger of two princesses, the insignificant one. On her sixteenth birthday, she has become the secret wife of a king, whose country is in turmoil. A king who needs Elisa to be the chosen one, not a failure of a queen. Savage enemies seething dark magic hunt her. Soon it is not only her life at stake, but also her heart. Elisa could save the country if she doesn't die first. Most of the chosen do. My Thoughts: While this wasn't my favorite book/ book series, I liked it. It was written well, but I think it took a book to long to get to the point of the book. If you are a fan of king and kingdom type books or fantasy books, I say you give this book a go. |
