review 1: This is a short story and a sort of prequel to the Girl of Fire and Thorns series. It takes place prior to the first book in the series and is told from the point of view of Elisa's older sister. It doesn't do much for the series other than give us someone else's perspective of E...

review 1: Ce que j'aime tout d'abord dans cette saga, ce sont les couvertures. Je les trouve magnifique et elles représentent parfaitement chaque tome, évoluant au même rythme que notre héroïne. Quand à ma lecture, et bien : OMG ! Elle était riche d'informations, de descriptions, de détail...

review 1: I felt like this dragged on for quite a bit. I am glad to get to know the characters a little better but it was just... slow. Which is a little weird considering that it was, in theory, action packed. Also, I'm not sure if I'm an idiot or something, but for some reason, in all th...

review 1: I really, really enjoyed this trilogy (but yikes, I'm glad I waited for the third one to be out before reading the second). It's well-crafted, full of wonderful characters, and overflowing with magic. The world building is superb, and the tidy but still somehow believable ending ...

review 1: 3.5 stars. There really is some beautiful writing in this piece, but ultimately, I was left feeling distanced from the characters. I felt as though I was observing them, rather than moving with them through the work. As other reviewers have noted, it wasn't until the mention of m...

review 1: One of the best YA fantasy novels I have ever read. The setting was amazing, the characters lovable, and it had an MC you can root for. The Spanish influences is what really sold it for me. Fantasy is usually set in a medieval or French-style environment. It was great to see a di...
