WIJFR: Girl of Fire and Thorns (sp)
Loved, loved, loved it! What a journey Elisa takes. She begins the story by hiding behind her feelings and her intelligence, but by the end she's a strong, smart and powerful woman.
I don't really know how I feel about Alejandro. At the beginning I was hoping he would fall in love with Elisa and that her instincts about Arina were wrong. They had to be, I couldn't bear Elisa's heartache. He came through in the end, but he was too weak to make good choices, including with Elisa.
Was Carson channeling GRRM? Killing off wonderful characters? Oh, Humberto. What a sweet, sweet boy. And now that I've finished, I can see that while he was on the verge of becoming a man, he was still a boy. He could have been right for Elisa some day, but I don't think it would have worked. Even if Elisa wasn't queen.
I sought out a small spoiler for the next book and it's KILLING me that I don't have it with me and I have to wait until late tonight to start number two. I'm getting ready to get number queued up so I can get right on that one too.
Thanks so much for suggesting this @taylormillgirl I loved it! Have you read Alodia's series?

Re: WIJFR: Girl of Fire and Thorns (sp)
I finished last night! I really enjoyed it! I downloaded the 2nd book from the library, I can't wait to start it tonight!
The only thing that bothered me (and it was a big deal) was Elisa's weight. She kept referring to herself as fat, large, etc... and she definitely appeared to binge several times when feeling out of place or unsure of herself. I just didn't like that she didn't feel "worthy" until she lost weight. Or maybe that was just how I read it...
What I did like about it was when she lost the weight, it wasn't intentional. I knew she probably would lose the weight at some point, but I was curious how RC would accomplish it without it being only about body image. I like that when she realized it, I didn't feel like it was OMG look, I'm skinny! She was proud that she was strong, mentally and physically.
