A review by eviemayhem
A Court of Thorns and Roses (Parts 1 & 2) [Dramatized Adaptation] by Sarah J. Maas

Did not finish book. Stopped at 75%.

With all the hype around these books, I really wanted to like them. For me, the character development seems only skin-deep and is only ever improved to move forward a toxic romance. There's so many violent things that only exist to traumatize the main characters, questionable sex scenes in even more questionable scenarios, and even with the dramatic audio I just could not get invested.
