thecasualbooknerd 's review for:
A Court of Thorns and Roses
by Sarah J. Maas
mysterious
slow-paced
Plot or Character Driven:
Plot
Strong character development:
Yes
Loveable characters:
No
Diverse cast of characters:
No
Flaws of characters a main focus:
Yes
I understand the hype, as it is an engaging story. However the themes, including forced sexual relations and confinement/isolation, not to mention the sheer violence and torture, were less engaging. If you want to read SJ Maas, go for Throne if Glass.
Also it took me way too long to realise this was a Beauty & the Beast retelling, but it is by far my least favourite one
