I found another book boyfriend, y'all *wink wink*

REREAD in 2021 (the new one is coming out!!!)
I think what made me fall head-over-heels in love with this book in the first place was that Maas has a beautiful way with words....expressing things I've thought myself, and then there it is on the page. Like when Rhys says, "Be glad of your human heart, Feyre. Pity those who don't feel anything at all."

Sometimes I feel like Feyre. Maybe if we didn't feel so deeply and care so much, we could handle thi ...more

It started off slow but when it picked up it really picked up so that is why it gets four stars instead of three. Really like the characters and am interested to see what is next for them.

3.5*
This started off really interestingly , but then started to drag out in the middle.... Then the last third of the book picked up again - but picked up to that extent that I then felt rushed through a bunch of seemingly important events. The tasks that Fayre had to complete were a little silly and too simply solved (even though they seemed impossible!) ... The potential love triangle between Feyre and Tamlin & Rheese and Fayre is not something i'm looking forward to. Also - the book comes to ...more

Just finished "A Court of Thorns and Roses" by Sarah J. Maas. After DNFing this book last year I gave it another shot and I loved it. My favorite character was Lucien by far. He's so sarcastic and funny. Feyre was OK, annoying at times but I have to admit she was kick ass at times. I liked her more than I thought I would. I loved Tamlin as a character and love interest. He was sweet, kind and protective, which I liked. Rhysand was a jerk for most of the book but he did get better towards the las ...more

**Review:**
"A Court of Thorns and Roses" by Sarah J. Maas is a captivating fantasy novel that weaves a complex and magical world filled with enchanting characters and intricate plotlines. The story, set in a richly imagined faerie realm, follows Feyre Archeron, a young huntress, as she navigates a world divided between humans and faeries.

The narrative unfolds at a deliberate pace, with the initial chapters setting the stage for the broader conflicts and introducing readers to the diverse cast of characters. The book's strength lies in its meticulous character development, as each figure comes to life with their own unique traits, motivations, and secrets. The intricate relationships and alliances contribute to the depth of the story, making it essential to invest time in understanding the characters' backgrounds and intricacies.

While the pacing may be considered slow by some readers, it is a deliberate choice that serves the purpose of establishing a solid foundation for the overarching narrative. The gradual build-up pays off as the story progresses, leading to intense and gripping moments that wouldn't have the same impact without the careful groundwork laid in the earlier chapters.

Maas's writing style is vivid and immersive, allowing readers to vividly picture the lush landscapes and magical elements of the faerie world. The author skillfully combines elements of romance, adventure, and political intrigue, creating a narrative that appeals to a wide range of readers.

The novel's four-star rating is a reflection of its overall excellence, with the deduction attributed to the initial slow pacing. However, this should not deter readers, as the investment in understanding the characters is crucial to fully appreciate the unfolding events and the depth of the relationships that drive the story forward.

In conclusion, "A Court of Thorns and Roses" is a compelling fantasy novel that rewards patience with a richly layered narrative, complex characters, and a world that seamlessly blends magic and reality. For those willing to invest the time in getting to know the characters, the payoff is a deeply satisfying and immersive reading experience. ...more
