Review: Girl Serpent Thorn

Title: Girl Serpent Thorn

Author: Melissa Bashardoust

Narrator:Nikki Massoud

Page Count: 325

Audio Length: 10hr 6min

Rating: 4.5/5

Synopsis (Found on Goodreads):

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,

apart from her family,

safe only in her gardens,

it’s not just a story.


Thoughts:

Intense and unputdownable. I really enjoyed the plot as well as Soraya`s tale. The dehumanizing

of Soraya was heart wrenching. I appreciated how real the characters felt and how much they

learned throughout the story. The plot was well paced. 

A princess as a monster but she has the power to save herself.

Death by touch isn`t new in the YA world but this original tale adds it in with a twist.


TTFN,

Ashley
