A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

3.0

does it get much better as you progress & care a tad more for each character? yes. do i feel the urge to read the following books in the series? no. I’d suspect if you are older than 17 you will find the same dilemma but hey it’s a bit of fun and if you can put aside the notion that Feyre seems a tad daft even for a 17yr old (she fended for her family for years but can’t read social cues purely based on other characters being of a different species? either it’s raging indoctrinated racism [tbf that is there so i don’t blame her entirely] or she is just fulfilling the ‘daft enough to fail a bit but is somehow still the Chosen One’ trope) then again maybe i’m bitter that i never had a fantastic hot fairie whisk me off to a life of adventure and pools of starlight…
overall it’s not trash but it isn’t amazing if you have any semblance of mature wisdom.
