A review by jayal
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
3.0
ACOTAR series has been sitting and cooking for quite a while in my bookshelves now. I finally have the time to take this off my reading list.
First of all, astounding world-building as always. Although, in comparison to the world of the ToG series, the map of Erilea is far more detailed compared to Prythian.
Second, I understand that the name Jurian could be a fantasy name for Julian, but Clythia? Please tell me I've been pronouncing this name wrong.
Third, I'm not a fan of the faerie wine bits with Rhysand at all. I see it romanticizing/normalizing getting drugged. I don't think it even helped with the plot. It's unnecessary. Alis' warning about it just for THAT to exactly happen doesn't sit right with me at all.
Fourth, I almost enjoyed the plot twist. If only the revelation wasn't dragged too long.
Fifth, Feyre's plot armor's obvious and a little too strong. She makes these crazy impulsive choices but rarely ever faces their consequences (well, upon reading the synopsis of ACOMAF, she might be doing just that). She's basically Belle from Beauty and the Beast, who loves painting instead of reading.
WAIT— It's actually the plot of Beauty and the Beast! Who could've thought __LOVE__ would always come and save the day??????????!
