A Court of Thorns and Roses takes you on a wild emotional ride. 

What starts as a take on Beauty & the Beast, with a human falling for a powerful High Lord of the fae, eventually winds up in a high stakes battle for control of the entire realm. 

I enjoyed this much more on re-reading, once I realized
that Tamlin and Feyre aren’t the endgame romance of the entire series. Which, honestly, I think says something deeper about love in general. When you’re young and less experienced, you think your first love is EVERYTHING. It’s only when you’ve been through some stuff that you grow and change, and so do your romantic desires.
 

Can’t wait to re-read Book 2!
