Quotes
"With The Girl of Fire and Thorns, Carson joins the ranks of writers like Kristin Cashore, Megan Whalen Turner, and Tamora Pierce as one of YA's best writers of high fantasy."
- Locus
"Intoxicating . . . Readers will find themselves immersed in this world and believing it."
- Voice of Youth Advocates (VOYA)
"Elisa is a wonderful, believable hero, the kind that every reader can imagine as herself. I charged through the book in two days, savoring Elisa's realness and her unique, wonderful world! Engrossing."
- Tamora Pierce, author of New York Times bestseller Bloodhound
"Palace intrigues, desert rebellions, kidnappings, forbidden romance and bloody betrayals, along with not a little time at the banquet table make The Girl of Fire and Thorns a delicious debut, even before Elisa begins to ask meaty questions about the nature of faith and her destiny in a country on the verge of war."
- Paolo Bacigalupi, Printz Award-winning author of Ship Breaker
"I stayed up until 2AM reading this last night. Intense, unique. . . . Definitely recommended."
- Veronica Roth, author of the best-selling Divergent
"I LOVED this book! It's a transformation story that both teens and adults can believe in. Rae Carson has delivered a unique magical system and built a world with strong series potential."
- Cinda Williams Chima, author of best-selling The Exiled Queen
"Rae Carson's heroine is a perfect blend of the ordinary and the extraordinary. I loved her."
- Megan Whalen Turner, author of the Newbery Honor Book, THE THIEF
"Set in intrigue-filled courts, battlefields, and windswept deserts, this riveting fantasy tests its heroine's limits as she struggles to fulfill a destiny wrapped in an ancient mystery. A breathtaking adventure in a fascinating, richly-drawn world."
- Leah Cypess, author of Mistwood
"I loved Rae Carson's The Girl of Fire and Thorns because it reminded me of my favorite books-Kristin Cashore's Graceling and Megan Whelan Turner's The King of Attolia. It is distinctive for its luminous prose, its hint of romance, and Elisa, a strong, smart heroine that readers will truly fall in love with."
- Sarah Prineas, author of The Magic Thief
