A review by mara_miriam
The Girl of Fire and Thorns Complete Collection by Rae Carson

3.0

This series is centered around a fantastical reinterpretation of Spanish Catholicism and medieval Mediterranean cultures; I appreciate the myths that were sewn into the fabric of the story. I loved the main character of the series, an unexpected and genuine hero; Elisa is pampered, although not spoiled, fat, and insecure, as well as intellectual, all traits that lead people to underestimate her. Although, the romantic ending felt a bit too neat for me and was a bit of a letdown somehow.
