tā kā es jau iepriekš biju tieši šo daļu lasījusi, tad jau apmēram zināju visus gaidāmos notikumus. es teiktu, ka šī sēriju daļa ir tāds kā ievads, lai pēc tam varētu baudīt pārējās grāmatas, kuras (es ceru) ir interesantākas. es jau zinu, ka feira būs kopā ar rīsandu, un tamlinā atklāsies vairāki sarkanie karogi, tieši tāpēc man tamlins jau šobrīd nepatika. toties, visas reizes, kad pie apvāršņa parādījās rīsands... 🤭 i just LOVE this man. rīsands vienmēr ir un būs manā book boyfriend top 3 augšgalā; var just, ka arī autore pati ir ļoti noslīpējusi rīsanda personalitāti un var just, ka viņai viņš ļoti patīk. tieši tāpēc grāmatas pēdējās 100 lapaspuses šķīrās ļoti ātri - beidzot bija kāda darbība, uzdevumi, un vairāk bija ainu tieši ar rīsandu. es zinu, ka es pārāk daudz jau runāju par rīsandu, bet... rīsands. ES NEVARU. un tā kā feiras un rīsanda stāsts ir modernizēta aīda un persefones versija, un vēl enemies to lovers... sign me tf up.

3.25 out of 5 stars
A Court of Thorns and Roses is the first book in the A Court of Thorns and Roses series. This book follows a young woman named Feyre. Her family is poor and she must hunt for food to feed them. She unintentionally kills a fae and ends up being kidnapped by a high fae. The book follows Feyre learning to live in the fae realm.
This is the first book l've read by Maas. I’m not typically the biggest fan of high fantasy but Maas does a good job weaving the story together. The story goes through interesting parts and boring parts. For so much of the story, Feyre is just sitting around like she is a helpless little human and when she finally steps up and joins in the fight, then I was really interested in the book. Also, Maas has a tendency to use weird words and phrases multiple times. She uses the word “bowels” multiple times and it kept taking me out of the story. 😶

To the people who claim the statement about Stephen king’s fairy tale - you are wrong. So so so very wrong.
The tale has so many beauty and the beast elements that I thought had interesting twists. But making Feyre illiterate felt really unnecessary and such an odd choice. I don’t think they needed to author needed to go that far to make Feyre not Belle. It would have been enough to just make Feyre into painting over reading. That was more than enough. I didn’t really care for Feyre much. There would be side characters felt more consistent and were more interesting. Feyre’s overall character is very inconsistent. She will say one thing and later on say something or do something that contradicts an earlier stated belief. She felt shallow and very one dimensional to me.
Will I continue with the series? Possibly, but not any time soon. Would I recommend this series to someone else? Sure, as far as fantasy or romantacy books go this one is fine, if a little mediocre and weak in parts.
