hwz 's review for:
A Court of Thorns and Roses
by Sarah J. Maas
This is a definitely one to persevere through! The first 2/3 I was like”Feyre is so whiny, girl if you don’t want it, I’ll go live in a mansion with a sexy man for free with zero responsibility instead”. There’s small bursts of intrigue, namely from interactions with side characters (criminal that she fancied Tamlin more than Lucien) and obviously the blooming romance yields some sexy moments. I was struggling to be EAGER to read this though.
But then the last third makes it all pay off!!!There was times in the book I felt like Feyre wasn’t asking enough questions about anything happening and I was just like “ok stuff’s happening, suspend the disbelief about the fact this doesn’t rlly make sense..” - but then it actually EXPLAINED the why of my questions in the last third - it just wasn’t written in a way that I understood that it WOULD all come together - I feel like this then put me in a good mindset for the rest of the series now I understand SJM’s writing style better. Once they get to Under the Moutain where all the bad stuff lives - this is fire - there’s a trial, deception/double crossing, brooding male character, morally greyness from multiple characters, Fey court politics/survival.
My ultimate advice: if you’re finding it slow like me, push through it! And no matter your opinion, at least read the second book which is actively a superb book :)
