Thorn: Review

Rating: 5/5 stars
Review: 
A princess that turns into a goose girl and lives two different lives. A fantasy and adventure novel!


This book was really good and interesting. I love the author's writing and how she made the story flow. The book had good pacing to it and was a different, unique story that I never read before. There were mages, talking horses, and also you will meet The Lady in this book. I loved the idea of the protagonist and antagonist switching bodies because that is something that rare you will see in a book. The author added many symbols and thrills that made you want to read the book more. Princess Alyrra (the main character) had a sidekick that was a horse that helped and gave a positive attitude. But let us talk about the prince. WHY DID THE AUTHOR GIVE ME ANOTHER BOOK BOYFRIEND?! He was my favorite male character in this book and I fell in love with him. I had no problems with this book what so ever and I really recommend you to read it.

Thorn by Intisar Khanani
Publisher: HarperTeen
Genre: YA Fantasy
Age: 13+

Summary:
A princess with two futures. A destiny all her own

Between her cruel family and the contempt she faces at court, Princess Alyrra has always longed to escape the confines of her royal life. But when she’s betrothed to the powerful prince Kestrin, Alyrra embarks on a journey to his land with little hope for a better future.

When a mysterious and terrifying sorceress robs Alyrra of both her identity and her role as princess, Alyrra seizes the opportunity to start a new life for herself as a goose girl.

But Alyrra soon finds that Kestrin is not what she expected. The more Alyrra learns of this new kingdom, the pain and suffering its people endure, as well as the danger facing Kestrin from the sorceress herself, the more she knows she can’t remain the goose girl forever.


With the fate of the kingdom at stake, Alyrra is caught between two worlds and ultimately must decide who she is, and what she stands for. (Goodreads)
