A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas.  (This is going to be a very unpopular rating).  2 out of 5 stars.  I purchased the physical book from Amazon in 2021.  

Why 2 stars?  It was professionally edited and had no typos that I could see.  I did finish it.

Why only 2 stars?  I started out reading this book with high hopes because it has been so hyped up.  If I had not paid money for this book, I would not have finished it.  I could not like the characters.  They had no redeeming qualities and their interactions with each other were just…lacking.  Every relationship (romantic or otherwise) was TOXIC.  Some more so than others.  ***Vague Spoilers*** The storyline had the potential to be really good.  If she was going to have 5 books in the series anyway, why not have the second half (after she came back to him) be its own book.  I got to that part and kind of deflated my hopes.  Also, I am not a fan of conflict ridden love triangles, so the love square was too much.

Some readers may really enjoy this book.  I did not.  I would caution young readers to wait on this book because of the adult themes within.
