This was a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, which I didn't know before I started it though it was pretty obvious early on in the story. I love fairy-tale retellings, especially when they have new and unique twists to them - which this one did.

I loved all the characters! Feyre was brave and strong, yet so sweet with the way she cared for her family (even when they didn't seem to appreciate it). Tamlin sounded fierce, he definitely wasn't someone you'd want to cross. I also really liked Lucien, ...more

5 Stars

I was enthralled by the story, but it’s the characters that make A Court of Thorns and Roses the beginning of a truly devastating trilogy.

After reading the first 3 books (There's going to be more!), this is my least favorite. That being said, it is incredible.
