A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
3.0

Finally. After two attempts at this book, I finally finished it. And I have to say I have really mixed feelings about this.

The first half of this story was boring, uninteresting and is the main reason why I put the book aside for a long while. I really wanted to like the plot or the world or at least the main character... but Feyre is not very likeable. Tamlin is ok, but his forced misteriousness was also boring to me. I didn't want to find out anything about them because I didn't care. BUT something shifted around pages 300 and the plot picked up. That was the change I was waiting for, something to captivate my attention. I honestly liked those last chapters, I really loved the folk story feel that it had, with the trials and magic that helped the heroine. It saved the whole story, and even though I only gave it 3 stars, hopefully the next books will be even better.
