Girl, Serpent, Thorn by: Melissa Bashardoust Published on: July 7, 2020 Review by: Stacy Palm Sometimes you come across a book that immerses you so fully from the very beginning that you get lost in the story until the end. This was how Girl, Serpent, Thorn was for me. Full disclosure, I listened to the audiobook rather than read the book. The narration was fantastic, but the story was what captivated me. First, I would like to acknowledge that the author did a phenomenal job of presenting a diverse culture. She allowed the reader to be invited into this world without explaining what should be understood about this land and its people. She allowed the reader to draw from the references the societal importance of certain things and allowed us to learn by viewing the events through the eyes of the main character. I believe she accomplished her goal and it provided for an exciting and illustrious adventure for the reader. I do not want to provide the synopsis because I want you to have to opportunity to experience this book in the same fashion, without knowing what is around the next bend. I'm looking forward to many more exciting reads from Melissa Bashardoust. |
