Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust
4.0
I received Girl, Serpent, Thorn in a recent fairyloot box and immediately fell in love with the concept of this book. It is set in a Persian inspired fanatsy world, with a princess, who is poisonous to the touch and demons and magical creatures.
The book did definitely not disappoint. It was a fast paced YA fanatsy, with a rich world (would have appreciated a bit more world building though) and great characters.
I really enjoyed Soraya, our main character and also the other ones (which I'm not going to get into too much, because spoilers!)
I flew through this, read it more or less in two days and the aspect I loved most about it, was that it read like a fairytale, that was literally so cool!
As for suspense, it definitely kept me on the edge of my seat and always made me want to go on reading! .
For me personally, the ending was a bit too happily ever after after the drama of the book, but that is just me looking for a devastating ending
