I NEED ACOMAF NOW OMG
OK OK 5 BLOODY SHINING STARS
Where do I start? ALL THE FEELS GOING THROUGH ME AAAGGHHH
Important points
-- I ship myself with Rhys because daaaaaaaaamnnn... why ever not?
-- I would not say this book is NOT a YA novel but more to a NEW ADULT because Sarah really upped the maturity of the situations that occur in the book especially with more detailed description of sexual matters. This is not erotica or anything like that.

I'm not going to lie, Sarah J Maas knows how to write. While this book is a bit too flowery with its descriptions and drags on a little too long with the story. It's very well written. I had hoped to fall in love with the characters (this being a love story) I didn't. I couldn't, it felt like the person who wrote it has never actually being in love and only knows how it's supposed to be like. While I'm aware that this is supposed to be a retelling of Beauty and the Beast, I felt like it also had

Reread August 2022 - Audio
Reread April 2017 - I enjoyed this book so much more this time around. Honestly though that was 90% due to Rhys and me trying to see a hidden meaning in everything 😜
I am really torn with this book. The first hundred pages really dragged and took me so long to get through. The little twists and turns sucked me in though and kept me reading until the end. My major issue with this book was the grammatical errors and odd sentence structure. I found it so much harder to read ...more

A Court of Thorns and Roses is a Beauty and the Beast retelling about a girl named Feyre who kills a faerie almost without knowledge and finds out that she'll have to face the consequences of her crime.
I enjoyed reading this book. I think my favourite part of the book was the little twist in the end. I mean, we all know the story of Beauty and the Beast, but Sarah J Maas' take on this was what I thought to be amazing. I mean I know that there was something wrong, but I didn't see THAT twist com ...more

IM CHOKING ON MY TEARS. This is now my favorite fantasy book I've ever read and my favorite book so far this year HANDS DOWN. Possibly one of my favorites of all time. I haven't shipped a book couple this hard since Twilight.. I'm a mess I LOVE YOU SARAH J MAAS.

Well, here is another case of "a lot of people loved except for me" syndrome. I was SO excited to read it after seeing the summary and all the glowing reviews. Okay I admit that I had high hopes for it but they started getting dashed as soon as I stated reading the book. Its very easy for me to "vibe" a certain book right away. I get these certain feelings or instincts about something as soon as I start to read something and these instincts are usually right. My alarm bells were rinigngs by 1/4

I'm really conflicted over my rating for this book. Some parts I really liked but I can't give a higher rating for moral reasons. It was so refreshing to see sex in a young adult book however I think Sarah took it too far when she described the main character to be constantly drugged, paraded around the throne room naked and giving lap dances. The main character doesn't even question this or fight back, she just acts like it's okay, and I think that its really unhealthy for young girls to be exp
