I absolutely love this book. I wasn’t sure that I would find another series that made me feel as deeply as the a ‘court of thorns and roses’ but it truly has succeeded in that. I love the relationship between poppy and Hawk while problematic, and she definitely has Stockholm syndrome, I think they are a romantic couple truly worthy of one another.
I am not a huge fan of werewolves vampires as a trope in fantasy books, but I think this book did a good job at distinguishing itself from the fantasy novels that use werewolves and vampires. I can’t wait to read book two!!
