3.5 rounded up to 4. The Girl of Fire and Thorns got off to a bit of a slow start for me. But the moment Elisa got out of the castle, it really picked up for me and I didn't want to put it down. Parts of this book completely broke my heart. I'm excited for book two of the trilogy.

This was interesting, but it never managed to hook my throughout the story. Not sure if I'll continue the series.

If you haven't read this book, read it! It was seriously fantastic, and I sincerely hope Rae writes another story soon! :) I couldn't put it down, I wanted to do nothing but read, and I don't mean like I always do, but I wanted to know more, read more, be part of Elisa's story! It was happy and sad and scary, and action packed, and most of all wonderful! Truly a wonderful story!

3.5 stars. Audiobook: great narrator. Story was good but a little slow in the beginning. I didn't start liking the main character until half way through.
The first book was ended well and no real cliffhangers. Could have been a standalone. I did get sick of hearing "God knows what's best. God knows what he's doing. I trust in God." Then all of a sudden she had come into her own and I realized I had started to like her when she learned to get angry and stop crying. We will see what the second has in store.

I first read this book when I was in middle school and enjoyed it because the main character was fat and rarely did I read books with any characters like that. I still enjoy that aspect of the book, however I wasn’t crazy about how people weren’t always nice to her until after she lost weight.
Overall I enjoy the plot and the world building within the book, besides that earlier small detail, it’s a great book!
