mangofandango 's review for:

A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
3.5
adventurous dark emotional tense medium-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated

Enjoyable enough as an audiobook that I finished it at 1.25 speed in a couple of days, but not without issues. I am, however, listening to the second one already, so I'd say it is compelling! If you find fantasy hard to digest, as I sometimes do, you might like this in audiobook form. It's inspired by Beauty and the Beast and despite having very different actual plot points, the story beats feel the same for much of the book.
