A Court of Thorns and Roses

"Predictable at parts, but still an interesting story. It's just over hyped by others, probably from the other ones in the series."

"The story line is enthralling and keeps you wanting more. Sarah J. Maas does an excellent job with sexual suspense between the main characters. Can't wait to read the next one!"

"Wow. That was pretty spectacular. <br/><br/>This was a rendition of the Beauty and the Beast tale but it was unlike almost every one I have read before. The themes that were incorporated into the old story felt natural because of the way this new story progressed. The old folk tale really got a spectacular face lift. <br/><br/>The characters were quite fun to get to know. Each of them got their own character arc - which is not often incorporated in most stories I read. <br/>• I did like Feyre but she wasn’t my favorite character. She mainly was your stereotypical YA fantasy heroine and reminded me of Maas’s other main character. I liked that she had her weak moments and they were believable. <br/>• I really love Tamlin’s name!! It’s super charming.<br/>• Rhys was such an arrogant charmer but what happened in the last chapter NEEDS to be explained!! I found him a bit annoying but enjoyable at the same time. (If that makes sense.)<br/><br/>The world building overall was okay. I found it was hard to keep track of locations and their importance though. My other complaint was the on/off fast pacing. A lot of it was slow but I feel like there are hints in there for the sequels. <br/><br/>I was wondering what all the hype was about surrounding this book. Now I know."

"3.5/5 Its a good read, some parts were a little silly and not unique. So for my cringe I took points away. "

"Wow that ending was insane! This was very much an exciting and magical Beauty and the Beast retelling, but with some twists! The world is really whimsical and very intriguing, and the story was interesting. I will say that it was pretty slow paced until the 75% mark, but it was all still very fascinating and the characters were mostly enjoyable. Feyre actually reminded me a ton of Katniss from The Hunger Games. As for the spice, I had been putting this book off for so long because I don’t read anything spicy. However, I found someone online who wrote the page numbers to skip, so that’s what I ended up doing, and it ended up being pretty minuscule other than a few references and make-out scenes here and there. Here are the pages I skipped (in the hardcover edition) for anyone who wants to know: 246-247 378 412 Anyways this book was good, but could have been even better if some things were changed with the pacing and plot."

"Not my go to type of genre I go for. However I think this book is written well just don’t care for the super natural aspects of it."

"Amazing. 302929282/10. I love tamlin and feyre. And why did Rhys also grow on me? But overall great, so excited for the rest of the series "

"I hate that I’m reading this series…. But it’s still fun to read "

"4.5/5. I really enjoyed this book and didn’t want to put it down. Kept my attention and will definitely be reading the other books in the series "

"Quick read I found myself not being able to put it down, and when I did all I would think of was reading it again.😭😭"
