Welcome to the MOSL Book Challenge
Summary: "And she [Elisa] will discover secrets about herself and her world that could change the course of history. She must rise up as champion—a champion to those who have hated her most. Riveting, surprising, and achingly romantic, Rae Carson has spun a bold and powerful conclusion to her extraordinary trilogy."
Whew! What a journey this trilogy has been! I love Elisa and her wits, determination and guile. Her strategic brain is incredibly fun to read; she is one smart girl! This series is a must-read! I loved it. Even though I was a little disappointed with some parts of the 3rd book that felt like filler. And the conclusion of Elisa's "act of service" was a bit of a let-down. BUT, the storytelling in this series has been outstanding overall!

Faced with assassins, court politics, and the threat of civil war, Elisa despairs of being the ruler her people need. Her only hope is the Godstone. She must master its power once and for all."
The Crown of Embers is the fun and intriguing sequel to The Girl of Fire and Thorns by Rae Carson. I love Elisa as she is a strong, smart and determined heroine. She never gives up and has a strong strategic mind. The action in this series is non-stop - it's great!

Wow! This book is a gem! The story moved quickly - I can't believe how much happens in just the first book. It has ample adventure and intrigue. I love that the author doesn't get bogged down in inane details and world-building - she gets right to the good stuff! I can't wait to see what happens next...
