I'm glad authors get to decide the end to a love triangle because I would never be able to choose. I'm one of those people that loves BOTH guys. Haha!

The Girl of Fire and Thorns had been sitting on my NOOK unread for such a long time, and I have just now finally gotten around to reading it. I'm so glad that I did! Before starting it I had high expectations because I've heard nothing but good things about it, and I'm happy to say that my expectations were met!
It's been a long time since I've read a great fantasy book, and I found myself craving the magic that the genre has to offer. Somewhere I read that The Girl of Fire and Thorns was A Game of Thrones for YA, which really got me interested. After reading it, I can see the similarities.
I really loved the world that the story was set in, as well as the fantastic heroine and amazing action scenes! My favorite part of the book would have to be the main character, Elisa. Unlike many YA books, she wasn't the "perfect" stereotypical girl. In the book she is called fat, and she's the unfavorable one out of her and her sister. Not only did I like that the book incorporated a different type of heroin physically, but she had a strong personality. Elisa didn't let her size get to her, and she was a natural leader. Elisa was just a genuinely likable main character! As for the other characters I really liked Humberto and Cosme. Both have interesting backstories, and I really liked seeing them change over the time that Elisa knows them.
There was a bit of romance in here, but I liked how it wasn't overpowering.It was incorporated into the story in the perfect way, and I really liked it.
Overall, The Girl of Fire and Thorns was a really great fantasy book! I would definitely recommend it to fans of A Game of Thrones.

My Barnes & Noble put this one out a few days early! Read it in practically one sitting today.
