Fire and Thorns trilogy (SPOILERS)
I finished the third book last night, and all I can say is siiiiiiiiiiigh. Hector. I didn't think anyone could replace Humberto, but I have to admit that Hector is a much better match for Elisa in every single way. And Elisa! She might be my new favorite heroine. I love her strength, especially the way she fakes confidence when she's terrified and has none. She's not whiny or bratty, (well, in the very beginning of the first book she's a bit whiny, but that doesn't last long), and she's smart enough to solve the biggest problems on her own. Which was refreshing. I also loved the setting and the Hispanic feel to it. The whole series was spectacular. I can't believe it took so long for me to discover it.
Re: Fire and Thorns trilogy (SPOILERS)
I agree with pretty much everything you've said. On the setting -- I loved it. I just loved the places, the clothing, the food -- I wanted to be in that world. On Elisa -- what a great character! Probably my favorite heroine of anything I read in 2013 (when I read 1 & 2) and definitely among my all-time favorites. I love smart, brave women. Though she has her awkward moments and doubts, she still shows so much grace as she transforms to accept her destiny. Besides this just being fantasy, there are a million reason I could not imagine being in her shoes.
I think I have to bump up my reading plan for The Bitter Kingdom. I'd been waiting for vacation to start it, but I don't think I want to wait that long.
