Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardoust

5.0

I accidentally ordered this book from amazon. Thought it was a sequel to another book I read. Quickly realized it is clearly not a sequel to anything. I’ve misunderstood what a book is about many times and straight up ordered everything from anatomy text books to erotica. My lack of attention to detail while buying books online has lead me on some very interesting journeys. This is no exception.

Not the book I wanted but it was fantastic anyway!

The beginning of this book seems like a middle eastern version of Rappaccini’s Daughter since the main character is poisonous and isolated in a similar way. Hang the hell on because it diverges into some damn unexpected romance and adventure. Loved the magic in this world!
