Reviews with content warning for Slavery - A Court of Thorns and Roses (Parts 1 & 2) [Dramatized Adaptation]

I have a strong feeling the abusive male character and not the sweet male lead becomes the main love interest (even after assaulting the lead) so idk if I can continue

This had been on my TBR for 4 years and idk what took me so long. People either love or hate this book and this series in general and I liked it a lot! I will say the beginning 20% is pretty slow, it took me a couple weeks to get through that and then I read the last 80% in less than 24hrs. I read along with the graphic audiobook and that version shuffles some inner monologue and dialogue around to make conversations flow, so I’d suggest the regular audiobook first and the graphic audio for a reread. I really didn’t find the book spicy at all, I think this could be appropriate for YA readers, but I’ve heard the rest of the series is spicier. Another thing: why does everyone hate tamlin?? He’s a pretty decent guy and takes care of FMC and her family when he doesn’t need to. I can see the rhys hype, he’s the misunderstood villain bad boy who I predict will be an enemies to lovers in the future and his fan art is🥵. Some of the book is gory and graphic, I would classify this as a dark romantasy with plenty of fluff. I would definitely reread in the future and I’m looking forward to the rest of the series!

This book had a really slow start when I first read it I stopped at 267 pages in and then picked it back up a year later. It picks up at the end and then it’s to the point where you can’t stop reading. The characters can be confusing because there are so many different types and I definitely checked ACOTR WIKI more than once to try to get a better understanding of the different species.
