The Girl of Fire and Thorns Audiobook

" Quick read. Cliche in parts, but overall a good story with lots of action and adventure. "

" I have mixed feelings about this (and the godstone in the navel thing just made me picture troll dolls all the time), but the parts I liked I really liked. I'm going to go with 3.5 stars for this one and keep an eye out for the next book in the trilogy. "

" I love the main character in this book Elisa and I am excited to read the rest of the series. I am already half way through the second book and sad that I'm halfway done. "

" I really hated this book for the first 1/3. It was interesting, and had a good writing. But, the main character was just so whiny, and always felt so bad for herself. So, I stopped reading. My daughter talked me into picking it up again, and I really loved the rest of it. "

" (2.8 stars) Umm... I really don't know how I feel about this book. First off, I didn't know there was a Book 0.5 so I'm not sure if not reading that affected how I felt about this book. The book was a bit slow at first, and I really didn't care much for Alejandro but the book picked up once she got kidnapped and things actually started happening. OMG and honestly, when Humberto died, I was utterly shocked and disappointed... I had to put the book down after that, but forced myself to keep reading. I'm actually still pissed that the author killed him off. As crazy as it sounds, I truly liked the idea of Humberto and Elisa being together. The ending was weird. We wait this whole time to find out what Elisa will do with the stones and it turns out that she just had to click them on her own belly button stone like a spinning lego piece and have her scream lines from the scripture while pieces of glass shatter dramatically around her? Really? lol. The book did hold my interest though for a while but overall the book felt a little too preachy for me. I don't even know if I want to read the other books in the series. I guess I'll read some reviews to see if you guys liked them or not lol. "

" I didn't realize this book was considered young adult. Aside from the protagonist being 16 there wasn't any of the over the top emotional madness I come to associate with young adult genres. I read this book in two days and I really enjoyed my time with it. "

" I love how the character kept getting stronger throughout the book. Also, after talking with the author, I now have a better understanding of why certain things happened (I'm not going to reveal spoilers here). Can't wait to read the next book! "

" I think that my favorite thing about this book was that the charming Price wasn't the Prince Charming and Elisa had to go out into the world and stand on her own feet and then grew into the person she wanted to be. "

" I enjoyed it but it took me a while to get into it. "

" Totally hooked. "

" I'd give this 3 1/2 stars, if possible. I need to think about this for a while as I just finished Seraphina, which addressed similar genres (historical fiction/fantasy) and themes (conviction, religion, realpolitik) with more of an impact. "

" I liked Elisa's transformation but the stone bordered on cult worship instead of religious piety. "

" It was so good! So many details and a different plot twist than I've ever read. Can't wait to read the sequels! "

" I enjoyed the character progression of the princess as well as the intrigue and the mystery behind what the godstone is all about. Some talk about bosoms, and minor violence. "

" A complex book. Characters are interesting, the interweaving of religion and sorcery is also interesting. Loved how Elisa transforms from a girl full of self doubt to a strong independent woman. "

" This book had a good story to it and I enjoyed the godstone element. Also the princess as a "fat" girl, that was different. My last observation was that the book as a whole was a bit long for me. I was ready for it to be done thus the 3 stars. "

" Four stars, with an extra star for the fantastic narrator, Jennifer Ikeda. "

" The main character has a powerful god gemstone thing in her bellybutton! Fun, fast-paced, different kind of story. "
