The third book in Rae Carson's award-winning The Girl of Fire and Thorns fantasy trilogy. Elisa, the seventeen-year-old sorcerer-queen, will travel into an unknown enemy's realm to win back her true love, save her kingdom, and uncover the final secrets of her destiny. Veronica Roth called The Girl of Fire and Thorns "intense, unique . . . definitely recommended."
Perfect for fans of Tamora Pierce and George R. R. Martin's style of sweeping and deeply satisfying epic fantasy, the third and final book in the trilogy takes the young queen on a journey more dangerous than any she has faced before. Elisa will stand before the gate of the enemy. And she must rise up as champion—even to those who have hated her—or her kingdom will fall. Full of sorcery, adventure, sizzling romance, and secrets that challenge everything she believes, this is a bold and powerful conclusion to an extraordinary trilogy. As USAToday.comproclaimed, "Rae Carson has proved she's a master and has shaken up the YA genre."
Biography
Rae Carson is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the award-winning Girl of Fire and Thorns trilogy. She lives in Ohio with her husband, novelist C.C. Finlay, two stepsons, and two very naughty kitties. She is hard at work on her next trilogy.
Ok first off LOVED this series! I still need to read the novellas but I loved this book. This one was split between Elisa and Hector's POV which was a great change. We got a little more of what was going on, on both sides. The only issue I had was that this book ends with no Epilogue I would have loved to see where they were down the road! A lot of things could have been added with that. If I would have gotten an Epilogue I would have loved it to play out as below. PS yes this is my made up one!!
If you havent read the book DONT READ THIS BELOW! IT will spoil the book!!!!
10 years later!
Elisa and Hector have been married for 10 years and have had around 5-6 kids!
Red has been adopted by her sister and storm! And has also caught the eye of the prince so they are to be married soon!
Mara FINALLY decides to marry Belen after Elisa tells her that she either does it or she will be dismissed. (all in playful fun!)
It finally comes out that Elisa is no longer a barrer so some of the Animagus's come to help her (YES HELP) to try and reconnect with the power of her now dead Godstone. Maybe going back to the island.
Peace rains across their world and more people are born with the Godstones from both people. (including mixed ones)
And the biggest thing that I think the author could have done was with that oasis that Elisa and her friends found. That was supposed to be her service. What if it wasnt an oasis but the desert healing itself. So that it was the beginning to a jungle. I think that would have been great!
"I purchased this book via Books A Million as well as Amazon"
Once a century, one person is chosen for greatness.
