constantcatreader 's review for:
A Court of Thorns and Roses
by Sarah J. Maas
Starting this book, I had no idea it had so much romance in it. (Should have looked up the genre.) But it ended up being a good balance between adventure, action, fantasy, and, yes, the dirty romance. Parents, don't let your children read this one (even though this is SCARILY marked "Young adult" which I'm not sure how old YA even means) SO... I recommend this book for those at least 18 years of age due to the very sexual as well as violent scenes. This book is intense, and that's what made it IMPOSSIBLE for me to put it down. I read this book in literally A DAY!!!
So what's it about anyway?
In a world of brutal and strange monsters, mystical faeries and lowly humans live with a huge wall in between their two worlds. A human family falls from riches to rags, and as the youngest in her family, Feyre learns how to hunt in order to support her family. With hate in her heart, Feyre kills a faer in disguise. Her punishment? She must go to live on the other side of the wall for the rest of her life. What will become of her family? What will become of her? What terrors lie on the other side of the wall? She begins to realize the terror which will soon be unleashed onto all humans. What can she do, as a mere human, to save all those she loves? The answer lies within.
Okay, so five star rating. My heart literally hurt while reading this one. So much emotion and YES I cried, okay? Lame... but that's how good this was! The writing wasn't always the highest quality or maybe romance just makes me roll my eyes A LOT of the times because of the EXCESS CHEESE, but man the story and characters and emotion and the readability just blew those blemishes outta the water!!
