This is not an objective review, AT ALL. The Girl of Fire and Thorns reminded me a lot of the YA Christian romance/fantasy books I read as a younger teen -- but better. Being SO IMPATIENT to get to something as racy as a kiss? Ridiculous, but I loved it the way I love grilled cheese and old musicals...
Loved it! The fantasy world Carson created has Spanish influences which was awesome. Elisa is a great protagonist. She's smart, resourceful, and easy to root for. I can't wait to see where the story goes next.

The Girl of Fire and Thorns is a hard book to rate. I feel like the first 35% of the book was about 2stars and the rest was a 5star rating. In the beginning there was so much self loathing coming from Elisa that it was honestly off putting. I get that she was over weight, it really didn't need to be...
