A review by designsbymeghen
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

3.0

I decided to try this one again, digital vs. audiobook, to see if I could get into it any better. It was a rough start, but I toughed it out to get one more read for the year. Overall, I feel like it’s very over-hyped. The main character has a lot of repetitive thoughts that make it hard for me to like her. The fantasy world has potential, but I feel like we didn’t get to explore it a whole lot. The romance scenes were tasteful and well-written. The entire first half of the book could have been condensed to at least half, so we had more time to spend with the real problems in the storyline. I’m undecided if I’ll read the rest of the series.
