The Girl of Fire and Thorns Book Review

The Girl of Fire and Thorns
Elisa is the princess and 16 years old,  and soon married to Alejandro.  She is the bearer of the Godstone. She knows that she is destined to do something but clueless on it. She is overweight.

While traveling to her husbands city , the party is attacked. While she understands the loss of the men , she wonders why they were even attacked. She wants to learn more about the Godstone.

She gets kidnapped and walks through the desert, and learns more about the people. She is praying and walking more and wonders what her role is to become. While on this journey she starts fighting for the people , and learns more about herself. Elisa becomes a force to reckon with.

This book was religious but not over the top. Elisa stood firm and became curious about her service to God. I connected and understood her reasoning.It was great to see such a strong female character who was religious.
But I didn't like that it became a forced diet for Elisa while walking through the desert and hardly much food. Elisa didn't really wonder much about her husband. She does make dear friends while being held captive.

Best Line: He who serves must not lose purity of intent

Book Review=B
