I feel like I've heard a lot about The Girl of Fire and Thorns, but now I think I'm mixing it up with Daughter of Smoke and Bone...

Either way, what did you think of it? (Fire & Thorns, but also Smoke & Bone if you've read that.)

I haven't read Smoke & Bone, but I really enjoyed Fire & Thorns! It's not a perfect book, by any means, but it touched on a lot of things that I liked, such as:

-the heroine is fat. Not curvy or plump. Fat. And although I think the point may have been overemphasized in the beginning of the book ('okay, she's fat, we know now'), it's definitely not a book about her being fat. It's about her being a heroine. Who happens to be fat ( ... )

Sounds fun, I'll keep an eye out for it!

Definitely agreed on the "religion in fantasy" thing, too, it's one of the reasons I enjoyed The Curse of Chalion so much.
