I've started this book with little expectations, however I found myself enjoying it. It's a story of love and betrayal, with interesting court intrigue and a fascinating setting. Although the plot in the second part of the book felt a little bit crammed, and the ending felt rushed there is a good character development, and it's well written. Overall, it was a nice reading that I would recommend.
Girl, Serpent, Thorn
SOMETIMES THE PRINCESS IS THE MONSTER From the author of Girls Made of Snow and Glass, this captivating and utterly original Persian-inspired fairy tale about a girl cursed to be poisonous to the touch is perfect for fans of Natasha Ngan and Naomi Novik. 'Monstrously beautiful and enchanting' Tasha Suri, author of Empire of Sand There was and there was not, as all stories begin, a princess cursed to be poisonous to the touch. But for Soraya, who has lived her life hidden away from everyone, apart from her family, safe only in her gardens, it's not just a story. As the day of her twin brother's wedding approaches, Soraya must decide if she's willing to step outside of the shadows for the first time. Below in the dungeon is a demon who holds knowledge that she craves, the answer to her freedom. And above is a young man who isn't afraid of her, whose eyes linger not with fear, but with an understanding of who she is beneath the poison. Soraya thought she knew her place in the world, but when her choices lead to consequences she never imagined, she begins to question who she is and who she is becoming . . . human or demon. Princess or monster.

I just finished this wonderful book which took my in a jurney through curses, demons and hard choices. Based on Persian myths and traditions, this world was something new and refreshing, interesting under all aspects. Furthermore, thanks to the authors notes I also had the pleasure to discover and learn more about this culture. "There was and there was not" Where does a nightmarish tale end, and a new story begin? If you appreciate good anti-heros with cool backgrounds, you're going to fall in love with each one of these characters. Decisions shape paths which entwine with legends and stories. It's a fine line between good and evil. Follow Soraya, the beautiful and cursed protagonist, in her misadventures, and you will discover it yourself! (My compliments to the talented author!)
