A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

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

4.0

Definitely enough to peak interest, but the plot itself is a little too convenient, I know it’s fantasy but some parts just feel so unrealistic.
Omg your punishment is to live with sexy fae in a beautiful mansion where it is always springtime πŸ™„


Fun world and the series does get a lot better.

After a re-read

Wow my first impression of this book is wild. I originally gave it 3.75 but I decided to bump it up to 4. 

The main character is likeable and there is interesting world building without feeling like youre slogging through world building. The characters are all pretty unique and personalities come through very clearly. 

The plot is still pretty convenient, and there are still some super weird moments (
looking at YOU weird sex Great Rite which apparently every high lord participates in but we never hear about again??
). 

But overall a really good introduction to the FMC and the world. Super wants me wanting more. 

Also
after the re-read, Tamlin is straight up just lustful for Feyre. Its so obvious, he’d rather fuck thank ask her how she is doing and check in on her
