Girl, Serpent, Thorn

Thank you to Goodreads and the publisher for a free copy via goodreads giveaway! I enjoyed this book! There were a few little issues I had, but overall, it was a fun read. The cover... gorgeous. The pace... a little slow in the beginning but picks up about 100 pages in. I wasn't sure how I felt about the story until the pace picked up, then I really started to enjoy it, and I'm glad I kept reading. I had to google so many terms because I was unfamiliar with Persian folklore, but after a while I got the hang of it. Soraya got a little annoying at times, but she's a teenager right? All teenagers get a little annoying. Her wishy-washy-ness between being a helpless, forgotten princess and a strong, poisonous woman gave me a bit of whiplash. I do love that (SPOILER AHEAD) Soraya ended up with Parvaneh in the end
