MAJOR PLOT SPOILERS AHEAD. READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

4.5 stars

I was very happy to do this reread. There were things that I remembered, which was impressive being I read this four years ago. Then other things just totally threw me for a loop, and I didn’t remember like at all especially timeline of events and such. I have such a different perspective this time around than I did with the first.

One reason was I listened to the audiobook instead of reading physi ...more

Where do I begin? I have to be honest. I didn't know much about A Court of Thorns and Roses going into it. I just knew that everyone seemed to be in love with these books.

It’s 2023 so I’m way behind on reading this.
That’s kind of an intimidating feeling - starting a much beloved and talked about book.
And somehow, I had managed to avoid many spoilers. Besides vague impressions of the world and characters, this was new for me.

And thank goodness!

This book is for you if you love…
✅Amazing world building
✅Fairytale retellings
✅Fae
✅Enemies -> Lovers
✅Magic
🌶️ 1/5 (two scenes, only one with descriptions and they’re very high level)
