A Court of Thorns and Roses
A Court of Thorns and Roses | Sarah J. Maas
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLERPerfect for fans of Kristin Cashore and George R.R. Martin, this first book in a sexy and action-packed new series is impossible to put down!When nineteen-year-old huntress Feyre kills a wolf in the woods, a beast-like creature arrives to demand retribution for it. Dragged to a treacherous magical land she only knows about from legends, Feyre discovers that her captor is not an animal, but Tamlin--one of the lethal, immortal faeries who once ruled their world. As she dwells on his estate, her feelings for Tamlin transform from icy hostility into a fiery passion that burns through every lie and warning she's been told about the beautiful, dangerous world of the Fae. But an ancient, wicked shadow over the faerie lands is growing, and Feyre must find a way to stop it . . . or doom Tamlin--and his world--forever.

This typically wouldn‘t be the type of book I would read. Sarah Maas seems to be a good writer. I just wish it hadn‘t taken so long to get into the book. Overall…I would give it ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.

My second reread of this book and I still love it (CC is still my fave though!) I loved seeing all the little future references, so many things now make sense and I absolutely loved seeing the characters in a new light. Very unpopular opinion but I'm thinking maybe Tamlin isn't as terrible as I originally thought, he's definitely not good, but maybe he deserves some form of redemption?

persephone1408 I just finished and I feel tam isn't as bad as they say 2d

I‘ve had this on my TBR shelf for quite a while. It was so exciting to finally read it. I loved the character of Feyre. It was such a unique retelling of Beauty and the Beast. I can‘t wait to read the rest of the series. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

TEArificbooks Kansas loves it road side attractions. We also have the world‘s biggest ball of twine. @Suet624 we like people to slow down and “smell the roses”. Also hopefully you spend a bit a money in the tiny towns that feature these road side attractions that would otherwise disappear. 4w

There was a lot of hype around this book and series, so I wanted to love it. I did enjoy the world building and the way everything is described in a nice pace, but I struggled with the familiar beauty and beast archetypes.

I loved this book! I‘ve been in a reading slump and a coworker let me borrow this book. I devoured it and I‘m on to the second one. The author is descriptive, the plot was intriguing, and the characters are likable. I love the names, the made up lands, and the romance was just enough to be believable without seeming forced. I hear the second book is even better.

5feet.of.fury Yay! I love the second book. Such a ride. 1mo
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks I can‘t decide if I want to start this series 🤦🏻‍♀️ 1mo
persephone1408 This sounds like me except I'm still in book 1 lol I was in a reading slump since my surgery, so I borrowed this book book from a co-worker. I absolutely love it. I just finished the throne of glass series and I wonder how far in the future this is, and if its the same world. 1mo

Not bad, but not for me. I can see why it's beloved-worldbuilding has some engaging aspects and characters were strong archetypes. A plucky heroine and a mysterious but secretly good-hearted man. It felt very Twilight for the new generation - but I'm at the place in my life where I want more emotional depth and protagonists that are older than 19. I have friends that adore it though...will need to decide whether or not I'm reading the sequel.

The.Great.Catsby Okay, so hear me out. I agree with you. I don't care much for fantasy. But like all SJM books, those last 100 pages sucked me in. I'm not... in love with this series like everyone else seems to be. But I do think the second book is worth the read. You meet some really cool characters and the story is taken somewhere different. I just finished the 3rd book and I'm unsure if I want to keep reading. But that 2nd book was really something else. 1mo
Tea_and_Starstuff @The.Great.Catsby - that's really good to know! I do adore fantasy in general, so I'm predisposed to like the genre, but felt this one was a little flat for me. I probably will give the second book a shot, I'm curious where the plot goes, and that's a strong rec! Plus, it's nice to share things with friends, even if they're not perfect fits, you know? 1mo
The.Great.Catsby @Tea_and_Starstuff definitely! I like to read outside my own box when it means that I can connect with people. Most of my friends are fantasy readers. So I picked this up hoping to learn what it's all about. And I'm not disappointed, but I need more thriller/mystery friends! Haha. 1mo

Well it was a quick read, simple and expected story line. But I couldn‘t connect to it. I felt it is ok read, and well written. Apparently second one in this series is too good. So I am going to read the next one 😃 This audio version is just brilliant. 3.5 🌟#bookspin #bookspinbingo #serieslove2023

Wow. I see what the hype about this book was now. I did not expect to love this as much as I did. Even for non fantasy lovers like me, this book is just so well written and captivating. There are twists and lots of suspense and I could not put it down. I loved everything about it and will be buying every single other book in the series immediately.

I had already read this book in the past and wasn't originally happy with it but after re-reading it, my opinion has changed. There's still a little too much of the selfish, self-deprecating dialogue that goes on in Feyre's mind for my liking but overall I enjoyed thr book immensely.

A Court of Thorns and Roses earns a 4/5 rating from me. While I'm happily recommending this book to like-minded fantasy romance readers, I have to admit that it feels like it could have used one more edit at the developmental level.

I will say that if you've read this book and you're feeling so-so, it's worth reading the second in the series.

I first listened to this back in 2017 and I wasn‘t really into it. After listening to the Graphic Audio edition I can definitely say that I wasn‘t fond of the original narrator because I was able to stay in the story perfectly with the dramatization of this book. My overall enjoyment of this book was heavily influenced by the full cast narration because the story itself did have some problematic concerns. ⬇⬇⬇

AudiobookingWithLeah Since there are over 100,000 reviews of this book on GR…all I‘m going to add is that there are valid points made for and against this book and most likely the series overall. I haven‘t listened to book #2 at all…but I have an idea of where the story is headed and I‘m not sure how I feel about that…so we‘ll see. I'm getting serious Stephen/Elena/Damon vibes here... 4mo

This is my third time reading this book, and I will always love it. I made myself wait two years since my last read through, and I was very excited to finally pick it back up again.
And perhaps the best part is the level-10 anticipation of getting to book two. Which I will begin…immediately.

Last post from paradise. This one frustrated me for the first half and made up for it somewhat in the second half. I‘m hooked enough to keep reading the series, and interested in seeing how the relationships progress given I already know too much about the later books from posts and reviews.

This will also be the last post with my Voyage - thanks for your 7 years of service, but a white screen of death incident means it‘s time to trade in!

Feyre is brave, opinionated and definitely an over thinker. I like strong characters that won‘t give up and she‘s the kind of person that will fight for what she wants. It‘s the kind of book that I started to read and at some point couldn‘t stop reading. Hope the second one is as good.

High Fae are the vampires of 2010 and this books delivers. A fantasy of mortal meets immortal, both raised to hate and fear the other, but when one holds the key to lifting a curse... gritty, gorgeous, fierce, fanciful & oh so sensual... I can't wait to read book 2 📚
