Elisa's self-worth journey—she begins as someone who doesn't believe she deserves anything; faith as a genuine part of her character rather than a prop
What this book is about
Princess Elisa is the younger of two royal sisters—plain, overlooked, and bearing the Godstone, a jewel given by God to one person per century who is chosen for an act of service. She is secretly married off to a king in a kingdom that needs the Godstone. Girl of Fire and Thorns is one of the most underappreciated YA fantasy series—a Latina protagonist, genuine faith as a narrative element, and a heroine who grows into her power.
