Have you ever read something so intense, so new and different and wonderful that you knew you wouldn't be able to pick up another book for a long, long time. Simply because anything else would be like eating a tootsie roll when you could have had a Lindt truffle (and you all know how I feel about tootsie rolls). The Girl of Fire and Thorns is a story of the power within each of us, no matter how deeply we bury it. It's also a story about loss and redemption and finding oneself.
If Fire and Thorns was fantastic, Crown of Embers was mind blowing. I couldn't stop reading. My life was literally on hold while I burned through the book.
Just read and reviewed The Girl of Fire and Thorns on the LDSWBR blog today. I completely agree! (Even if I don't actually know how you feel about tootsie rolls.)

ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read The Crown of Embers!
Wow. I guess I've got to have it. The last book you recommended like that was a definite hit with the whole family.
ReplyDeleteShanda: I think tootsie rolls are farce. Not really chocolate, not really taffy. They are abomination. ;)
ReplyDeleteJoLynne: You won't regret it. :)
