Finished! Review: Wow. If that book was only the introduction to the series, I cannot believe the amazingness of the next two books. They will be amazing. I feel like I can only give this book 4 stars because, if the next 2 books are better, then they will be the ones deserving of 5 stars, but I won't go against my gut, and I will be giving this one, yet again, 5 stars. I'm so pleased I decided to re-read this one, so I can finally proceed to finish the series before Acofas, which is out in May. I'll be finished a month before, which should give me enough time to absorb the story, and to fully hype myself back up.
You have no idea how happy I am to be finally a part of this fandom. I will be participating like crazy.
While Feyre's type of character typically annoys the heck out of me, I couldn't help but go along with it because of the need for her personality. This book contained everything I love: medieval-ish setting, fancy clothes, fantasy, aspects of superpowers, and most of all the (view spoiler) Anything involving these things I will love. I can't wait to get more involved with these incredible characters and this world, and to see her (view spoiler) All I want to say, or I'll be ranting forever.

I think there is another start on the 17th.

I know im reading book 2 in the 7th March and book 3 on the 13th March so maybe we can do something huge xD


Heather | 10157 comments I’m reading book 2 now

I wanted a better visual image/explanation of that too.

Everyone thinks the start's slow XD I really didn't get that impression. It's setting up so we know her family background, but the book was pretty fast-paced to me! I seriously cannot wait for the next 2.

Jamie | 12273 comments No no. badly worded. I meant more on my part since this started days ago. I've had no time to read. You are spot on about the setting.

Jamie | 12273 comments I just enjoy seeing actual Fae creatures and monsters mentioned. And more accurately described. Many books are non-named or badly explained. (view spoiler) That or oftentimes I see generic Fae/faery with no specific differences. They are often glomped together. Not here. Each race/class is unique and follows lore to some degree. I like it.

Same. It's rare to see a lot of Fae creatures. :)

I didn't like it but I'm going to continue the series since I have the second book. It could just be a slow start to the series. :/

Apparently it is a slow start. Everywhere I've heard that the first one's bad compared to 2 and 3.

That's good then since I have a BR for the next two next month. If they were as bad as book 1 I might have had to DNF them. :(

I'm reading much bigger books next month, with these 2 and 2 big Sanderson ones.

No. I'm reading it with Ryn on the 24th and the 1st of April. But I will probably try to slip in A Court of Wings and Ruin in March since it starts with a vowel. :)

I have several big ones next month too. I'm looking forward to the challenge. :)

Ah wow this thread's going to be messy XD At least I'm reading it first because I won't have the mess. And Leelyn and I are so keen to start XD At least I'm reading it at the start so I don't have proper time to get behind. And my prior reads are short :D

I'm kind of scared XD These 2 at the start and the Sanderson at the end.

And aren't vowels easy to read for?? A is easy haha. But we definitely got C covered :p Got too many of them.

Yeah that's why I want to read it in March. Plus I don't know if it will count for the April challenge. :)

And she never ever tells them to get over themselves. You've basically got every single type of person in that one family. Nesta: stuck-up haughty bitch.
Elaine: sweet outspoken passive gentle (but also so oblivious)
Father: basically absent
Feyre: Defiant outgoing reckless.

Jamie | 12273 comments Maddison, you said A Court of Mist and Fury (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #2) by Sarah J. Maas on March 7th and A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #3) by Sarah J. Maas on the 12th right? I found the first thread but not one for the third book for the date.

Or are we just waiting to change the date for this thread?
