A review by a_libra_library
A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

adventurous dark tense medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? No
• Loveable characters? N/A
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

3.0

I understand why this series took off, its easy to read, great world building but that's it. It's not the fairy erotica everyone says it is. But reading this in 2022 - nothing ground breaking or new. 
Could've been an normal beauty and the beast retelling but the author has other plans towards the end.
