"The Girl of Fire and Thorns" by Rae Carson -Fantasy


Started February 15, 2013 - Ended February 16, 2013


AMAZING! I can truly say "The Girl of Fire and Thorns" was one of the best books I've read this year.

From Amazon: Once a century, one person is chosen for greatness.

Elisa is the chosen one. But she is also the younger of two princesses. The one who has never done anything remarkable, and can't see how she ever will.

Now, on her sixteenth birthday, she has become the secret wife of a handsome and worldly king--a king whose country is in turmoil. A king who needs her to be the chosen one, not a failure of a princess.

And he's not the only one who seeks her. Savage enemies, seething with dark magic, are hunting her. A daring, determined revolutionary thinks she could be his people's savior, and he looks at her in a way that no man has ever looked at her before. Soon it is not just her life, but her very heart that is at stake.

Elisa could be everything to those who need her most. If the prophecy is fulfilled. If she finds the power deep within herself. If she doesn't die young. Most of the chosen do.


I literally cannot wait until I can start the sequel to this novel, although I'm dreading the wait for book 3. I have to admit that I was sort of skeptical when I started reading, but I didn't take long for me to get hooked. I highly recommend this novel. I give "The Girl of Fire and Thorns" an A.
