The Girl of Fire and Thorns

I am currently reading the book "The Girl of Fire and Thorns," by Rae Carson. The book is about a princess who is the chosen one. She secretly marries a king who needs her help to save his country in turmoil. But enemies want her too. Can she help the world, or will she die young, as most of the chosen do?

I am only in the very beginning, but already the book has hooked me in. From the very first page I was intrigued. Rae Carson's writing style is very well done. She is very detailed and vivid, so you can clearly see the setting or the character/scene she is describing. This novel is a fantasy book, so it's a nice change of pace of genres. I have just finished reading a historical fiction novel, so this book is a nice change. The book has won the WIlliam Morris Debut Award, and has rave reviews from many distinguished critics. I can't wait to read this book and find out what happens to Elisa, the princess, and see if she can live to fulfill the prophecy.
