A review by elenap
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
fast-paced
2.5
As a non romance reader, I was still extremely curious about this series. This is probably my second fae book after An Enchantment of Ravens, which is my least favourite Margaret Rodgerson book.
ACOTAR is... fine. It's just fine. There is no character depth, the writing is on the weaker side, it's low on fantasy, but you know, we have pining, it's very readable, and it does leave a lot of unanswered questions so you'd want to read more. It did not help at all that the main character is dull and so damn stupid and survives the entire book with sheer plot armor.
It was surprisingly pretty low on spice which I loved. The characters I actually want to know more about are, surprisingly, Nesta and the fox guy, he was funny. Tamlin is fine and Rhys is an asshole.
I've heard that the second book is much better, so I will give it a go only out of curiosity to see ifthat double take Rhys did at the end was him imprinting on Feyre like Jacob did with Renaissance because ugh if yes
