The Girl of Fire and thorns by Rae Carson.

There are so many reasons I loved Girl of fire and thorns. The writing is fantastic. Elisa  is such a great heroine and role model for kids today. In her Rae Carson has created a heroine who is smart and kind. Her greatest struggle is that within herself and recognizing her own worth and her vast potential. It is great to see her grow from a confused and overweight teenager, unsure of her place in the world, to a most capable and beloved Queen.
I really enjoyed this novel, because it is full of surprising twists and turns. I love an author who is not afraid to kill some characters and Carson is definitely one of those. The loss and pain that Elisa suffers only goes to make her more real and more admirable. As a fan of Kristin Cashore and Tamora Pierce, I thoroughly enjoyed reading her story and can't wait for book 2 and 3.
