⋆☆TαƚҽɾTσƚ RҽαԃʂᯓSҽɱι-Hιαƚυʂ☆⋆ (taylor_reese) | 27 comments I recently bought A Court of Thorns and Roses and A Court of Mist and Fury. I've never read Fantasy/Romantasy before and kinda scared on reading the books. Need your guy's opinions on the books and maybe some guidance on the books and those 2 genres. Thanks ♡

AC's | 411 comments You should totally give it a try! I was unsure as well, at first, but I can guarantee you it's more than worth it. The world building is well structured and the characters are chef's kiss.
You should check out Throne of Glass too!


⋆☆TαƚҽɾTσƚ RҽαԃʂᯓSҽɱι-Hιαƚυʂ☆⋆ (taylor_reese) | 27 comments @AC's if I end up liking this series I definitely will try it out!


joe (work hiatus) | 31 comments the series was very good for me when i first read it, enjoyable etc, but the author is def problematic and i wouldn't support her in any way. but i can't rly deny that i loved acotar xx

Sonja | 115 comments If you bought it, try it. Honestly, it might not be for you or it could become your favourite series; only one way to find out. I enjoyed the first book and ended up buying the rest of the series. Once I get through my library books, I plan on reading the entire series.

kitkat (inked-pages) | 196 comments i would totally read it! i never thought i'd like fantasy, but my friend told me to try acotar, so i did, and romantasy is now my fav genre! i would also say that acomaf is a lot better than acotar <3

Kristina | 300 comments Acotar brought me into the world of fantasy and I never looked back! As someone already said, only one way to find out 😊

Ara | 20 comments I was the same and was curious as to why everyone loved these books. For me I had to push through ACOTAR but the ending was good. ACOMAF though I absolutely loved! It’s a good introduction series to Romantasy

Soria (soreads) | 5 comments In my opinion, the book was fine. No more, no less. Therefore, the 2-star rating I gave it.
The author is problematic, glorifying/romanticizing harassment. The FMC was dumb af, and I couldn't relate to her at all.
I am not keen on fantasy books, so I am not sure I should be one to have a say in world-building, faeries, etc, but they weren't something I liked.
Moreover, the book was very oddly written (the dumb characters helped with that, too), and if not for a part near the end of the book, the heroine didn't have to fight for anything. Everything was given to her as soon as she asked for it.
Additionally, there wasn't any character I could root for/relate to except for an extra/side character who hardly had any lines.
At last, the worst part for me is her type of writing. It seems blunt and boring to me, so it took me almost 2 weeks to read it when I could read a book 1.5× its size in maybe less than a week.
However, if you have bought it, I think you should give it a chance and maybe like it and call me crazy.
That's my opinion, and no one is forced to agree with me, especially for something that is obviously objective, like taste in books.
I am planning on reading the second book after my exams are over since my bsf, who has read the whole series, told me it gets better with each book.
That was it from me.

XOXO,
Soria <3

Soria (soreads) | 5 comments Also, sorry for the long-ass comment 😅
I just thought it'd be better if I gave you the whole picture.
(Plus, I kinda also practiced my essay-writing skills since I will try to get my English proficiency degree next month. 😚)
