The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson

Brief synopsis (no spoilers): Every century, one person is chosen as the Bearer of the Godstone- a gem that lives embedded in the navel. Elisa is not the prettiest or most capable Princess in her family; that would be her sister. But because she's the Bearer, a nearby King arranges to marry her, with hopes that her blessing from God will save his kingdom from attack. Category : Fantasy, maybe YA fiction Why I chose this book : Recommended by someone My personal opinion : The premise is unique, and I like it. It had a little bit too much romance and reference to infidelity for my taste, but setting that aside, I really enjoyed the magic and the impressive improvement that Elisa goes through in the story. I do recommend this book for anyone mature enough to understand complicated relationships. Warnings Language: None Violence: Fighting "Adult" situations: References to physical attraction, private body parts, and infidelity, but nothing explicit Death: Yes, including major
